    Why Draft from Scratch?

    Criminal law was once considered a "paperless practice." The reality today is that a criminal practitioner will use as many documents as the busiest civil practice. Courts now require a multitude of documents - notices, submissions, affidavits, facta - for both criminal and quasi-criminal cases. These documents can be time-consuming to draft - especially when you encounter a new type of motion or proceeding for the first time.

    The Practitioner's Criminal Precedents, 3rd Edition equips you with 300+ precedents. They range from the routine to the highly specialized, covering every type of precedent you will ever need.
