Federal Criminal Trials

Federal Criminal Trials is the definitive treatise on federal criminal procedure, trial rules and proceedings, and constitutional protections, including an in-depth look and analysis of both the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence as well as post-trial proceedings and appeals. This is the only treatise which covers exclusively in a single volume criminal issue relating to constitutional protections, the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence. This treatise is also a valuable asset to state practice, particular in those states which have adopted both the Federal Rules of Criminal Practice and Evidence. The Appendices provide the most updated copy of both the Federal Rules of Evidence and Federal Rules of Criminal Practice and Procedure for easy reference.

Federal Criminal Trials offers an in-depth analysis of the federal criminal trial process equipping both the government and defense attorneys with the legal arguments and tactics they can and should use to either prosecute or challenge the government's evidence at every stage of a criminal case. This treatise is a unique text offering insights from both the government and defense counsel’s viewpoint, showing the legal arguments that may arise so that each side has the foresight and knowledge required to refute any argument brought up from opposing counsel.
