This work will benefit all who endeavor to understand the process by which we seek justice.' Loretta Lynch, former Attorney General of the United States 'Frederick Davis has written a concise, readable, and comprehensive review of how criminal justice is practiced today in the United States. It will be very useful for readers unfamiliar with US procedures, as well as American readers interested in the state of criminal justice today.' Michael B. Mukasey, former Attorney General of the United States, and former Federal Judge 'Non-American lawyers often struggle to interpret the landscape of US criminal law. The estimable Frederick Davis has produced a strategic guide to that landscape that is pellucid, incisive, accessible, and most valuable.'
