About the Book

A realistic and practical text for criminal law and procedure

Fundamentals of Criminal Law and Procedure for Paralegals focuses on providing the skills and knowledge students need to function effectively in careers related to criminal law. From investigation and discovery to trial and sentencing, this text traces every step of the way through five hypothetical criminal cases that illustrate procedure, raise discussion questions, and engage students in skill-building exercises. Realistic and practical, the text engages students with discussions of the criminal justice system, the role of police and lawyers, the basic principles of criminal law, constitutional limitations, and trial procedures.

    • Hate Crimes to include a discussion of how it relates to the death of George Floyd and its use in the prosecution of the Georgia Jogger case
    • The self-defense claims raised by George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse in their respective prosecutions for murder; the Rittenhouse case raises related issues of vigilantism and gun laws
