Contemporary Criminal Law Reviews

"The text is the best Criminal Law text I have seen. Actually, it is the best text in any subject I have seen. It should serve as a model for textbook writing in all subjects taught at undergraduate institutions. It is very well written, organized and researched. It is comprehensive without being wooden. There is a lot of variety of material so it remains interesting throughout the course. The companion resources are particularly helpful both for instructors and students." -- Jane Younglove 20100422 "It is by far the best text/casebook on the market geared to undergraduate students in a criminal law class. It is also the best bargain, and priced at least $50 less than other criminal law texts designed for undergraduate instruction. The cases are anything but boring; Professor Lippman has done a brilliant job in selecting cases that bring the material to life with real-world situations." -- Philip M. Stinson, Sr. "I feel the Lippman Contemporary Criminal Law text fills a unique niche among similar books in that it seems the most cutting-edge and current. It also lives up to its subtitle by bringing in the most controversial issues in the discipline. The cases are interesting and useful." -- Jennifer K. Wesely "The major strengths of the text include a clear writing style, the inclusion of comprehension tools such as chapter summaries and "legal equations," and most especially, the broad range of interesting and provocative cases." -- Don Liddick 20100422 "This the best textbook for my teaching style because of its balanced use of text and cases. I intend to continue to use Lippman." -- Russell Loving
