Jackson doctrine regarding the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. | A more thematic approach to the adjudication half of the casebook(Chapters 8-17), highlighting | the key institutional relationships (and occasional conflicts) between courts, legislatures, prosecutors, and juries that affect the handling of cases within the criminal justice system, as seen most notably in such areas as charging decisions, plea bargaining, and sentencing law and policy; and | the latent (but perhaps inherent) tension between lay participation in criminal cases (i.e., the jury) and the core criminal justice values of accurate and unbiased adjudication. | Addition of new Chapter 10, Pretrial Screening and the Grand Jury, focusing primarily on the grand jury and consolidating material that previously appeared in several different chapters. | Significant expansion and reorganization of Chapter 11, Scope of the Prosecution, which now includes venue, as well as speedytrial, joinder, and severance. | Up-to-the-minute treatment of Crawford doctrine in Chapter 14, The Jury and the Criminal Trial, covering the scope and meaning of the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to confront the witnesses against him.
