Please buy the asigned casebook (either the hardback or the paperback version, see explanation below) before class, and read the following for the first day:

1. From the hardback (red) casebook, read pages xxxiii-xxxviii (the Preface), pages 1-7, note 1 (on pp. 10-11), and 12-16. If you have the paperback book ("The Police"), you need to subtract two from the assigned hardback page numbers. So pages 12-16 becomes pages 10-14. (Page 1 in the hardback does not have any text, the text really starts on page 3, so for the paperback you read pages 1-5 instaed of 1-7, which is still just the first five pages.)

2. Also read David L. Hudson, Courts in a muddle over 4th Amendment’s community caretaking exception, ABA Journal, 8.1.13. (Follow the link.)

Instructions for buying the Casebook:

You should buy ONE of the two following books:

1. Miller and Wright, Criminal Procedures: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials (Wolters Kluwer 4th ed. 2011) (hardback)

OR

2. Miller and Wright, Criminal Procedures: The Police (Wolters Kluwer 4th ed. 2011) (paperback)

(No supplement required for either book.)

The full Miller and Wright textbook (Criminal Procedures: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials) contains all of the materials for both Criminal Procedure I and Criminal Procedure II. The publisher, knowing that some students will only take one of those courses, also publishes the first part of the textbook (the materials for Crim Pro I) as a separate, smaller text (Criminal Procedures: The Police), and publishes the second part of the textbook (the materials for Crim Pro II) as a separate, smaller text (Criminal Procedures: Prosecution and Adjudication). If you are only going to take Crim Pro I, it is cheaper to buy The Police. If you are going to take both Crim Pro I and II from me, it is cheaper to buy the entire textbook. The choice is yours.
