by Jens David Ohlin

Buy a new version of this Connected Casebook and receive access to the online e-book , practice questions from your favorite study aids, and an outline tool on CasebookConnect, the all in one learning solution for law school students. CasebookConnect offers you what you need most to be successful in your law school classes – portability, meaningful feedback, and greater efficiency. Designed to respond to the changing nature of criminal law, Criminal Doctrine, Application, and Practice offers a fresh approach that features a blend of criminal law theory, clear presentation of the doctrine, classic and modern cases, and an exploration of the practice and policy considerations of the doctrine. Materials are presented in a visually lively style, via a consistently structured pedagogy within each Doctrine (treatise-like explanation), Application (cases), and Practice/Policy (questions providing an opportunity for normative critique of the law and exploration of practical and strategic challenges facing criminal lawyers). Theory is integrated into the doctrine section rather than conveyed through law review excerpts, so as to help students make the necessary connections to doctrinal issues. Aggressively-edited cases help keep the length to a minimum, and modern cases will engage younger students and professors.

[Linda Gorniaczyk]

The opinions are so poorly edited and often leave out necessary details

[Eva Danielson]

Case editing SUUUCCCCKKEEEDDDD, like if you’re gonna cut out the details might as well cut out the straight up disturbing ones

[Makayla MacGregor]

Best casebook yet. So wonderfully clear and it made me wonder why on earth all the other casebooks can't be to-the-point like this one is.

[An Hosek]

Learned from some other reviews that this apparently cut out tons of details, but I honestly don’t mind since I loveddddd when my assigned cases were short 🫣🫣🫣 and so many here were only a couple pages so reading always felt like a vacation (minus the horrific parts). Plus, they always took the time to explain the law pretty effectively!!

[Abe Moss]

Very FUM casebook.
