PRACTICE GUIDE |
|
Postconviction Remedies is a one-of-a-kind treatise that provides a comprehensive analysis of the remedies available to both state and federal prisoners challenging their convictions following appeal, with particular attention on federal court remedies and the sweeping changes enacted by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act.
Comprehensive. Each of the numerous aspects of the postconviction review process is thoroughly analyzed and accompanied by extensive citations to pertinent legal authorities.
Relevant. The treatise is updated annually, providing the reader with the most recent judicial decisions of interest and the most current analysis of relevant issues.
Practical. The treatise is written with the objective of making application of complex and rapidly changing legal principles as straightforward as possible: controlling legal standards are identified, case examples illustrate how legal doctrines are applied, and developing issues are clearly identified. An extensive table of contents, table of authorities, and index makes locating issues easy.
Subject matter. Postconviction Remedies thoroughly addresses both the procedural aspects of the collateral review process and the substantive constitutional claims commonly raised by prisoners, including ineffective assistance of counsel, instructional error, sufficiency of the evidence, state evidentiary rulings, suppression of evidence, prosecutorial misconduct, substitution of counsel, right to jury trial, speedy trial rights, state-created liberty interests, unexpected departures in the law, pre-indictment delay, judicial bias, disparate treatment, arbitrary or capricious state actions, ex post facto, and the right not to testify. |
