Summary

A favorite classroom prep tool of successful students that is often recommended by professors, the Examples & Explanations (E&E) series provides an alternative perspective to help you understand your casebook and in-class lectures. Each E&E offers hypothetical questions complemented by detailed explanations that allow you to test your knowledge of the topics in your courses and compare your own analysis.

Here’s why you need an E&E to help you study throughout the semester:

• Clear explanations of each class topic, in a conversational, funny style.
• Features hypotheticals similar to those presented in class, with corresponding analysis so you can use them during the semester to test your understanding, and again at exam time to help you review.
• It offers coverage that works with ALL the major casebooks, and suits any class on a given topic.

The Examples & Explanations series has been ranked the most popular study aid among law students because it is equally as helpful from the first day of class through the final exam.

In This First Edition:

• Provides a readable and comprehensive guide to a very complex area of practice: white-collar criminal cases.
• Demystifies the law students find most difficult and focuses on how it is applied every day in firms, prosecutors’ offices, and courtrooms.
• Explains in a practical way the operation of the statutes applicable to the most commonly-charged crimes and deconstructs the overlap among code sections.
• Covers procedural topics reflecting the realities of white-collar practice, focusing, for example, on the legal and tactical considerations relevant to the conduct of investigations, sentencing, and plea bargaining and cooperation agreements in individual and corporate cases.
• Provides examples and explanations drawn from actual cases that allow students to practice applying what they have learned and that expose them to cutting-edge issues.
• Ensures that students who master the materials are ready to confidently engage in a white-collar practice—on the government or defense side of the “v.”
