Brian A. Blum
Aspen Publishers, 2004
Dense, but good
+ Fantastic first year contracts book!
+ Between Corbin & Emanual
This has a different feel from Glannon's CivPro book in this series. This book has A LOT more substance. But I'm loving it. Adding an 800 page supplement to your textbook reading can be tough, but if you can manage it, I've found it well worth it.

Criminal Procedure (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac )2 reviews
Joel Samaha
Wadsworth Publishing, 2004
Criminal Procedure with CD-ROM
The cases were written in an understandable English language and the CD-ROM was helpful in simplifing the chapters but they were too bare. They helped point you in the right direction but needed to be filled in a little more from the chapters.
