I’m going to let you in on a little secret that your law school professors don’t want you to know about. The easiest and most effective way to study, learn, and ace your final exam in criminal procedure is to use a supplement. In fact, if all you do is attend lectures, brief cases, and join a study group you’re all but guaranteed to end up at the median of your law school class. So if you want to ace your crim pro exam and finish at the top of your class, now is the time to get a copy of the best criminal procedure supplement.

Understanding Criminal Procedure Is The Best Criminal Procedure Supplement

The Understanding Criminal Procedure series of supplements are, without question, the best criminal procedure supplements you can buy for your crim pro classes. Written by Professor Joshua Dressler, Professor Emeritus of Law at The Ohio State University School of Law, the Understanding Criminal Procedure supplements are an essential resource for learning criminal procedure and crushing your final exam.

Understanding Criminal Procedure (Investigation)

Understanding Criminal Procedure (Investigation) walks you through a proven, systematic approach to solving even the most difficult Fourth Amendment, right to counsel, interrogation, and Miranda exam questions your law professor can dream up.

The thing that truly makes Understanding Criminal Procedure (Investigation) the best criminal procedure supplement for crim pro I is its user-friendly, yet comprehensive approach to teaching criminal procedure. The text is laid out in such a way that its a breeze to not only learn crim pro, but to create an actionable outline you can use to prepare for your final examination.

In other words, Understanding Criminal Procedure (Investigation) should be your go-to supplement for crim pro I.

Understanding Criminal Procedure (Adjudication)

Understanding Criminal Procedure (Adjudication) builds on the first book by guiding you through the criminal process after the police investigation ends and the adjudicative process begins.

Professor Dressler explains in plain, simple terms the black letter law and policy rationale behind charging, pretrial release and discovery, criminal trials, post-conviction proceedings, sentencing, and appeals.

In short, Understanding Criminal Procedure (Adjudication) gives you everything you need to know to master crim pro II.

Hi, I’m JD. I graduated with Latin honors from a T14 law school and I’m currently a senior associate at a BigLaw firm. So I know exactly what it takes to succeed in law school and thrive as a new associate. If you want to do the same, then I can help. Check out my consulting page for more info.

How To Use The Understanding Criminal Procedure Supplements

As a current Biglaw associate and someone who graduated with honors from a T14 law school, here are my top three tips for how to use the Understanding Criminal Procedure supplements to do your best in crim pro I and II.

First, find a criminal procedure outline from one of your peers who took the class with your professor and aced the exam. Treat this outline like gold. It will serve as the roadmap for your crim pro class.

Second, read the relevant section of the Understanding Criminal Procedure (Investigation) or Understanding Criminal Procedure (Adjudication) supplement before class and summarize the applicable law and policy in your outline. Be sure to include in your outline any nuances of law or policy your professor raises in class.

Third, take several timed practice exams. This will help you develop the skills and confidence you need to do your best on test day. If your professor provides copies of his or her old exams, these should be your first choice. If not, use recent criminal procedures exams from other professors. Here are some sample exams to get you started.

Final Thoughts

Law school isn’t easy but there’s no reason to make it any harder then it has to be. The guaranteed best way to save time and give yourself the opportunity to ace your final exams is to use law school supplements. I used them, and every top student I know used them as well.

So if you want to do your absolute best in criminal procedure, then be sure to pick up a copy of the Understanding Criminal Procedure supplements today.

All the best,

JD
