“The Criminal Law Handbook: Know your rights, survive the system of Attorneys Paul Bergman & Sara J. Berman is an impressive tome of 678 pages of information on criminal law. The book aims to help you understand the rules confused and procedures relating to criminal offenses and to show how the system works, because the police, lawyers and judges do what they do and more importantly what can be done to limit the damage. I think it achieves that goal very well. Most part of the book is written in a question-and-answer understandable to explain the criminal justice system, both within and outside the court. They range from the first police interview through trial in jail and probation.

Nolo Remember that focuses on making the law accessible to all, and books published by Nolo doing an outstanding job of doing just that. Therefore, this book is not a manual of criminal law as would be in law school, but a general guide for the non-lawyer or layman.

Again, this book is a large volume of information. It is well organized and has cost many bars and examples. If you have a question about criminal law, more than likely that this book will have an answer. The authors suggest that the law varies from state to state, and I would recommend that in addition to this book, anyone who has dealings with the criminal justice system in their look at the statutes of the jurisdiction should ensure they have the law that is applicable to their case. That’s why I like the last chapter provides guidance in this area. The authors also note that the book is not intended as a detailed guide to self-representation. This is a comprehensive overview of the whole system, but not all, and this because you can not put everything on our complex system in a book.

This is an excellent tour of the criminal justice system and one of the best resources around the layperson who wants or needs to navigate the complex maze of rules and laws that shape our system. I recommend it highly to anyone wanting to know everything about the law.
