The continuing development of constitutional principles in this area makes it logical to consider them explicitly as constitutional law rather than merely as factors related to the administration of criminal justice. The cases were edited for economy of space, eliminating material that was irrelevant to criminal justice, repetitive, historical, related to the analysis of previous cases, and related to separate opinions that do not represent prevailing constitutional doctrine. Concurring or dissenting opinions that contribute to the discussion of the various issues have been included here. The specific topics covered in the book include due process of law; arrest, and search and seizure; electronic surveillance, agents and informants, and entrapment; the right to counsel; the privilege against self-incrimination; lineups; preliminary examination; bail; indictment; the right to a speedy trial; plea bargaining; trial by jury; trial; double jeopardy; sentencing; and collateral attack.
