Author Description

The leader in its field, Leading Constitutional Cases on Criminal Justice is updated annually and includes all significant cases decided in the preceding Term of the Court. This is a year of editorial transition, with Professor Elizabeth Papp Kamali stepping in to continue updating the book, embracing the approach developed by the late Lloyd Weinreb over an impressive five decades as sole editor. In keeping with Professor Weinreb's method, cases will continue to be edited generously and presented in a simple, straightforward format, for use in courses on constitutional law and criminal justice. For the 2022 edition, citations that were unavailable for the previous edition have been supplied, small corrections have been made, and one case from the most recent Term has been added: Lange v. California. The 2022 edition will be published in August and will be available for fall classes.
