I am currently using this book and I firmly believe that it is one of the best supplements to this class. I don't know how I would survive in this class without it!

This text provides a sound foundation for students beginning the study of Criminal Law. While many of the Criminal Law courses for undergraduates are narrowed down versions of the original cases, this text provides students with the ability to read cases from the original source. This merges the law along with the social expectations held for law and resulting policies. I use this text to encourage a critical analysis of law and all the actors who impact upon our Nation of Laws. I highly suggest the use of Law and Society by Vago as a companion text.

I find Emanuel outlines in general to be great. I found the crim outline in particular useful for its very simple and thorough presentation of crim blackletter. My professor often offers either his own gloss to prevailing majority rules or the theory behind them - this is great for establishing the baseline in American criminal law.

If you're in a California non-ABA approved law school and after about nine months you are completely burnt out with your text books then start studying these criminal law flash cards. In the first 100 cards it clarifies legal terms that extend to torts as well such as vicarious liabilty and these flash cards go on to explain the exact difference between proximate cause and cause in fact for both criminal law and torts as well. These flash cards are not as hard to study as text books but they are not a substitute for them either. If you are 1ls in an ABA approved law school then disregard this review and study whatever your law professor recommends.
