The
Minnesota Judges Criminal Benchbook serves as a
starting point for the legal research necessary to untangle
complex criminal issues. All of the judges on the criminal
bench have this Benchbook and you should too! It covers
everything from search and seizure issues, post-arrest
procedures, and appointment of counsel to post-verdict
motions and sentencing. It also includes specialized
chapters on driving while impaired, sexual assault and
abuse, domestic abuse issues, extradition, and juvenile
delinquency. It is filled with practice tips, examples,
notes, and caveats from practitioners on both sides of the
bench, as well as judges.
2022 UPDATE
The NEW Eighth Edition of the Minnesota Judges Criminal
Benchbook has been fully reorganized to make the
Benchbook easier to navigate and help users find the
critical information they need. The Benchbook now follows
the process of a criminal case from start to finish,
beginning with obtaining warrants; charging; and first
appearances, bail, and release; to omnibus issues;
suppression motions; guilty pleas; and the trial process;
through post-verdict motions; sentencing; and
post-convictions remedies; as well as all the important
specialty chapters like DWI; sexual assault; domestic abuse;
juvenile delinquency; and much more!
The Benchbook puts 24
chapters of up-to-date information right at your fingertips,
keeping criminal law practitioners informed and current on
all changes affecting their practice. The 2022 Eighth
Edition features updates to all chapters, including new case
law and changes to court rules and statutes. With 24
expansive chapters, the Benchbook covers all aspects of
criminal law and provides practice-based tips and comments
alongside insightful and thorough analysis of new case law
from the United States Supreme Court, the Minnesota Supreme
Court, and the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
