The Origins of Adversary Criminal Trial (Oxford Studies in Modern Legal History)2 reviews
John H. Langbein
Oxford University Press, USA, 2005
A Terrific Resource
This a really terrific explanation of the history of our modern adversarial system and would be particularly useful to trial lawyers who work within the adversarial criminal system. (It's one thing to know that one CAN object to hearsay...but haven't you ever wondered why we do?)

Prosecution Principles: A Clinical Handbook (American Casebook Series)2 reviews
George R., Sr. Dekle
Thomson West, 2007
THE Prosecutors BIBLE.
I have had the honor of meeting Prof. Dekle twice and I have been a knockout prosecutor ever since. If you want to know how to be a prosecutor you need this book. Prior to reading this book I was floundering in my efforts to be a good prosecutor. After reading this a book I started this year off with two the major crimes convictions. Prior to the book I really did not know that I kinew ...

Patent Prosecution1 review
Irah H. Donner
BNA Books (Bureau of National Affairs), 2006
Great single source for U.S. patent prosecution
I graduated law school with honors in intellectual property. I have had the opportunity to read a number of textbooks on patents and patent law. These materials by Donner, the two volume set plus the softcover digest and CD, are the best single source of information on prosecuting a patent (trying to get a patent approved) in the U.S. that I've ever come across. I bought it hoping it would help ...

The D.A.: A True Story2 reviews
Lawrence Taylor
William Morrow & Co, 1996
Great book
Bought this on remainder a few years ago and picked it up a couple of days ago. It's terrific. Takes you right inside the LA D.A.'s office and quickly becomes a page turner. Better in many ways than John Grisham, etc., . . . plus it's a true story.

The Criminal Prosecution And Capital Punishment Of Animals1 review
E. P. Evans
Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2007
Astonishing, disturbing and subversive...
Forgot to add this to my Amazon list of "The Most Subversive Works Imaginable" (so check those out too!). This book is just mind blowing. I read it while taking a "History of Witchcraft" class in college. Anyone interested in animal rights, the tyranny of the courts and the solopsistic nature of "civilized" religion will be intrigued. It will make you seriously question the current practice ...

Irah H. Donner
Bna Books, 1999
The Patent Attorney's Bible
If your practicing patent law and you don't have this book, then you're not doing your job. This is an absolutely invaluable reference that must be consulted before answering any Office Action.

Federal Drug company Agents: The Federal Prosecution of a Patient Advocate1 review
Joseph P. MD Rudolph
BookSurge Publishing, 2007
Government & Business corruption
This book describes the plight of a single practice doctor, and how he attempted to provide cheaper prescription coverage to patients. It showed, with documentation how every attempt was made to silence the doctor and eliminate cheaper coverage. Excellent saga with unfortunate endings. A must read for everyone.

The Witness for the Prosecution 8 reviews
Agatha Christie
Berkley, 1985
I WAS THRILLED TO FIND THIS BOOK
As a mystery writer with my debut novel in its initial release (and a creative writing professor at various California State Universities), I was thrilled to find this book. As with most mystery authors, I cut my teeth reading Agatha Christie's books. She invented the modern cozy, and these stories display Ms. Christie at the top of her talents. If you like mystery short stories, these ...

Sarena Straus
Barricade Books, 2006
Modern Day Joan of Arc
Don't laugh. That's exactly what Sarena Straus embodies in her unvarneshed war against the "mean streets" of the Bronx, one of the most crime-laden urban battlegrounds in this increasingly violent country of ours. We're "flys on the wall" witnessing the lives of battered women and children as Ms. Straus weaves through her complicated world as an assistant D.A. From gruesome homicides to child ...

Tv News Corp Prosecution: Of Kobe Bryant, A Viewer's View1 review
Roy G. Raymond
Authorhouse, 2004
WOW, Media exposes the corruption of Justice
Although the publisher really messed up the format of this book, the document section begins with a bang and finishes with an explosion. The author's comments expose what the documents show, a joining at the hips of the executive and judicial branches of government. The separation of the multitude of issues in the Bryant case makes each issue easy to follow to its conclusion and shows why the TV ...

Pictures at a prosecution; drawings & text from the Chicago conspiracy trial1 review
Jules Feiffer
What says the wicked son?
It was my sophomore year in high school when I first learned about the Chicago conspiracy trial. There was the local connection, growing up in the Chicago burbs, knowing people who claimed to have been there. And there was the hippie connection.
Even as a very young kid, I held a jaundiced view of the government. A product of the times and the environment around me. Of course the ...

Rape and Sexual Power in Early America1 review
Sharon Block
The University of North Carolina Press, 2006
Everything you wanted to know . . .
Everything you wanted to know about rape in early America but were afraid to ask. Where did the colonists draw the line between consensual and coerced sex? Where did they draw the line between coerced sex and the crime of rape? In answering these questions, Sharon Block shows how race and class determined the power that men had to avoid prosecution, and the power that women had to seek ...

A Fly for the Prosecution: How Insect Evidence Helps Solve Crimes13 reviews
M. Lee Goff
Harvard University Press, 2001
a "must read" in the category
This book succeeds at all levels. He has hard science a layperson can follow. He has history as he was in on the process of forensic entymology becoming a recognized field. He has case histories. He has thoughts on being a forensic entymologist. ("I know a life can be radically changed, even ended by my testimony.") And he has funny parts (really) that you can buttonhole your family to read ...

Prosecutorial Misconduct1 review
Bennett L. Gershman
West Pub Co, 1999
This is an excelent book
From time to time we run across a law book that is exemplary, this book is such a book. This book does the best job we have seen on the subject matter of Prosecutorial Misconduct. In this day of our age, where the Constitution is treated like a mere fable enshrined in mythology, while nearly every arrest is flawed with rights violations, due process violations and worse. It would be a much ...

Priority prosecution of high-rate dangerous offenders (Research in action)1 review
Marcia R Chaiken
U.S. Dept. of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, National Institute of Justice, 1991
Outstanding discussion of historical materialism
Just like G.V. Plekhanov's other famous work, "The Development of the Monist Theory of History", this book addresses criticisms of historical materialism as well as misrepresentations by so-called Marxists themselves. All of the relevant issues and critiques are discussed, from the contrast between the materialism of Marx and Feuerbach to the role of race and geography in historical development. ...
