West Announces the Release of Maryland Law of Confessions
A Comprehensive Look at State and Federal Confession Standards All in One Title
EAGAN, Minn.
West, a Thomson business (NYSE:TOC; TSX: TOC) today announced the release of Maryland Law of Confessions, an essential resource for any attorney or law enforcement official that deals with criminal confessions and interrogation. This new book contains more than 900 pages of comprehensive coverage of Maryland's standards regarding voluntary confessions, the right to silence and the right to counsel.
Providing state and federal standards all in one title, Maryland Law of Confessions clearly, carefully and concisely addresses every conceivable aspect of the topic ever discussed in the Maryland appellate courts. Issues examined in detail include:
The implications of the recent Williams opinion on prompt presentment
Custody, waiver, invocation, re-interrogation and surreptitious questioning
The right to silence not directly related to interrogations
Under-utilized rules pertaining to the Sixth Amendment
Ethical considerations for prosecutors
"Maryland Law of Confessions is the most complete book on confession law available to the Maryland legal community," says Andrew Jezic, author of Maryland Law of Confessions. "It examines or cites nearly every Maryland and Supreme Court case on confession law and draws observations from well over 100 law review articles. For attorneys or law enforcement officials looking for a quick reference to basic rules, the book provides practice pointers at the end of each chapter."
Timesavers included in Maryland Law of Confessions are practice tips, checklists of key elements of commonly litigated issues, an index of descriptive words and phrases, and a table of cases, statute and rules.
