Georgia Crimes and Defenses is a landmark treatise on substantive criminal law in Georgia, combining several practical resources for criminal defense lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. The 500-page volume analyzes the elements of over 100 crimes in the Georgia code including – homicides, assaults, kidnapping, thefts, controlled substance offenses, motor vehicle offenses, property crimes, sex offenses, computer offenses and more. The Treatise provides insight into possible defenses, lesser included offenses, and a catalogue of hundreds of appellate decisions that hold that insufficient evidence supported the conviction in the most frequently prosecuted offenses. 

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.
