ALI CLE's Trial Manual for the Defense of Criminal Cases is a how-to-do-it guidebook for criminal defense lawyers at the trial level. This three-volume series covers the information a defense attorney has to know, and the strategic factors s/he should consider, at each stage of the criminal process. Starting with the point at which a defense attorney enters a criminal case it proceeds chronologically through investigation, discovery, pretrial motions, plea bargaining, suppression and other pretrial hearings, trial preparation, trial, sentencing, and post-verdict motions. It is organized for easy access by practitioners who need ideas and information quickly in order to jump-start their work at any given stage.
