The King of Criminal Law Hornbooks

This hornbook is the master work on substantive criminal law, frequently cited by all courts, including the United States Supreme Court. It analyzes all the questions that are not peculiar to a particular state. Where different views are presented by various states, that's covered. The hornbook weighs in on questions where there are differences of opinion, in numerous references to the "better view," without denigrating the positions that are not designated as the "better view." Anyone who orders this hornbook will be dazzled by the clarity with which it addresses a complex subject: substantive law.
