This casebook is a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the Supreme Court’s death penalty jurisprudence. Part I contains background information about the death penalty and the Court’s seminal cases. Part II addresses constitutional challenges to various aspects of death penalty schemes. Part III considers the litigation of a capital case by examining the Court's constitutional decisions regarding the process as a whole and the penalty phase, in particular. Part IV concerns issues arising after the death judgment, including review of the death judgment and the execution itself. Part V reconsiders the death penalty from the perspective of international law and recent critiques and proposals for reform.

This text has a ton of interesting information and case material that really grapples with the death penalty and the various viewpoints with regards to the death penalty. It's a typical textbook, but that doesn't make it any less well-written or researched.

Good Textbook.... as far as textbooks go.

As described, great condition!
