Andrea Campbell and Ralph Ohm have written this book to provide the reader with an expansive and practical guide to the many aspects of law. Divided into three parts, Legal Ease: A Guide to Criminal Law, Evidence, and Procedure explains the practice of law through all phases of the criminal justice system. Part One—Criminal Law Explained, offers a history of law, defines criminal conduct, and explains the tools attorneys use in their practice. Part Two—Criminal Procedure and Evidence, details the steps required to institute a constitutional search, seizure, and arrest. This part also provides a comprehensive description of the duties and responsibilities of prosecutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement, and court personnel. Part Three—A Walk Through the Criminal Justice System, takes the reader step-by-step through the process of a trial, from jury selection to verdict and sentencing and finally to the appeal process. Defendants’ rights are discussed as they navigate through the criminal justice system. The authors explain the ideas and principals behind our country’s constitutional amendments and offer many case examples as illustration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource, September 7, 2009
Legal Ease is exactly what the authors claim it to be: a guide to Criminal Law, Evidence, and Procedure. It has taught me so much about the history of our laws and is a must have for anyone needing information pertaining the field. The authors employ great skills in taking difficult subjects and simplifying them so that law is easier to understand. I love this book and although I use it as a reference for making scenes in my stories plausible, I am now considering taking a paralegal class or two. It's that effective.
