About This Book

This deskbook covers criminal practice from arrest through post-conviction remedies. It was written by experienced Missouri lawyers for Missouri lawyers and is loaded with practical advice. It provides an overview of the criminal law in Missouri and helpful practice tips, checklists, and forms to guide attorneys through the practical considerations of criminal cases. You`ll find suggested voir dire questions, and the 2012 cumulative supplement includes a replacement chapter on Alternative Sentencing Courts. A full-text, searchable CD-ROM that also contains nearly 100 word-processing forms is included with the book. This three-volume set is indispensable both for attorneys who regularly practice criminal law and for those who need a quick overview for the occasional criminal case. This publication is an important research tool, a quick reference, and a vital addition to any Missouri legal library. The 2012 cumulative supplement includes the latest developments in DNA testing, including what must be shown to get testing ordered for potential exoneration. The supplement covers enhanced sentencing requirements for repeat DWI offenders and has new sections on selective waiver of attorney-client privilege and work product protection, anticipatory search warrants, mitochondrial DNA testing, paternity testing, cyber stalking and cyber harassment, credit for time served when determining eligibility for parole, and constitutional issues in alternative sentencing courts. The supplement has citations to the latest cases and updates on legislation. Order yours today!
