Trial Advocacy in Action

20 Exercises to Sharpen Your Criminal Case Skills

By: Brent E. Newton

Defendant Reginald McKay, a mentally disturbed American who became a "home-grown" Islamic terrorist, poisoned members of a Jewish temple during Passover seder. After one of the poisoned congregants died, the Feds got a lucky break thanks to an eyewitness and modern computer forensics and quickly built a death penalty case against McKay. Newton's case file, United States v. McKay, is built around the tragic story of McKay and his victims and includes twenty advocacy exercises from all major stages of a criminal case. Each of these twenty exercises will introduce a wrinkle-involving a constitutional challenge to procedures or evidence-that students then analyze through the lens of the Supreme Court's decisions in landmark criminal procedure cases such as Batson v. Kentucky, Jackson v. Virginia, and United States v. Cronic, among others. Taken as a whole, these exercises track the maneuverings of a complex criminal defense and prosecution, starting with pretrial motions; continuing through jury selection, trial, and sentencing; and concluding with postconviction motions. An instructor using Trial Advocacy in Action may, as desired, direct students either to prepare short written pleadings or to practice oral advocacy in support of their legal arguments. This fusion of factually compelling scenarios and intellectually challenging legal doctrines creates a robust learning experience that seeks to hone students' skills regarding both legal analysis and legal advocacy concerning constitutional issues that arise throughout the entire course of a criminal case. Trial Advocacy in Action is ideal for use in upper-level criminal procedure classes, law school mock trial competitions, and continuing legal education (CLE) seminars for new criminal practitioners.

Criminal Litigation and Legal Issues in Criminal Procedure

Readings and Hypothetical Exercises

By: Brent E. Newton

Criminal Litigation & Legal Issues in Criminal Procedure is designed to incorporate the substantive law of criminal procedure into a trial advocacy course. The traditional trial advocacy course is concerned almost exclusively with "skills training" (e.g., learning techniques for cross-examining a witness), but does not incorporate much, if any, substantive law. Conversely, a traditional substantive course on criminal law or criminal procedure focuses exclusively on legal principles and doctrine, but does not involve training students in courtroom advocacy skills concerning substantive law. In Criminal Litigation & Legal Issues in Criminal Procedure, author Brent Newton merges elements from these two types of courses into one and seeks to bridge the gap between them.

Practical Criminal Procedure

A Constitutional Manual

By: Brent E. Newton

Whether you are a prosecutor or a defense attorney, a thorough understanding of the many procedural issues in a case can mean the difference between a conviction and an acquittal or an affirmance or reversal on appeal. This guide by Brent Newton comprehensively examines the major topics in constitutional criminal procedure with a pragmatic view that gets to the heart of each matter quickly and cogently. It includes a summary to every significant decision of the United States Supreme Court that impacts constitutional criminal procedure. This text also highlights many of constitutional procedural issues that the United States Supreme Court has not yet addressed and reviews the extensive treatment these issues have received in the lower federal and state courts. Written for law students, criminal defense attorneys, and prosecuting attorneys, the Fourth Edition of Practical Criminal Procedure helps legal professionals understand complex criminal legal issues in context and how legal issues commonly arise in real-world litigation. New to the 4th Edition: The fourth edition includes practical analysis of many new Supreme Court decisions that significantly have changed many aspects of constitutional criminal procedure, including: Fourth Amendment cases, including Kansas v. Glover (2019); Carpenter v. United States (2018); Collins v. Virginia (2018); and Byrd v. United States (2018) Double Jeopardy cases, including Gamble v. United States (2019) Cases addressing the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, including Ramos v. Louisiana (2020) Sixth Amendment right to counsel cases, including McCoy v. Louisiana (2018) and Garza v. Idaho (2019) Sentencing cases, including McKinney v. Arizona (2020) Federal habeas corpus cases, including Wilson v. Sellers (2018)
