Welcome to Criminal Law II, a journey through the law of constitutional criminal procedure. This publicly available casebook is a substitute for a textbook you would otherwise purchase through the University bookstore.  It contains the cases you are to read for each unit.  The cases have been elided, so portions represented by blue ellipses are not required reading. You are nevertheless more than welcome to click the dots to read through the entire case.

One of the purposes behind Criminal Law II, as taught in the undergraduate department of Criminal Justice, is to explore and define the concept of "good police." Credit is owed to Det. Jimmy McNulty of The Wire, who embodies crucial aspects of good police.
