the test for determining when new procedural rules should be applied retroactively
a consistent and systematic chapter structure that

discusses the history and development of the law
cites examples from recent cases where the key issues have been raised
offers an analytic critique of the resolution of the issue
chronologically organized chapter
topics that mirror the sequential ordering of the investigation process
samples of legal pleadings that exemplify attorneys actual arguments
a panoramic perspective on practice as conveyed through the eyes of prosecutors, defense counsel, judges, police, and victims

a detailed Teacher s Manual that offers questions and answers to support teaching and fuel class discussion
