Book Description
Louisiana Criminal Law: Cases and Materials, Second Edition is a textbook designed for use in the basic Criminal Law course taught in a law school or an undergraduate program in Criminal Justice. The text includes cases from the state of Louisiana and statutes from the Louisiana Criminal Code. The format of this book is a combination of Louisiana criminal cases, statutes, comments and questions. Each chapter of the book begins with an introduction to the basic principles and crimes that will be discussed in the chapter followed by questions and comments. The cases have been selected because they reflect the issues of major importance regarding basic concepts of criminal law as interpreted by the Louisiana Supreme Court and Louisiana appellate courts. Selected provisions of the Louisiana Criminal Code are included in the Appendix. The questions at the end of the cases should assist students in developing their analytical skills and understanding of criminal law. The cases and statutory appendix should provide students with all the information they need to successfully answer the questions. The questions should assist in promoting relevant classroom discussions. After an introductory chapter discussing general principles contained in the Louisiana Criminal Code, the text contains chapters on the guilty mind including criminal intent and criminal negligence followed by chapters on justification and excuse including insanity, intoxication, self-defense, defense of property and defense of others; parties to crime and inchoate crimes; homicide; assault and battery; sexual offenses; kidnapping; arson; burglary; theft and robbery.

Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ...the questions discussed in this note from others liable to bc confounded with them, in criminal law. The right to takeamcnds applies to many cases of private injuries; yet it is a nice question of fact, whether the amends taken were not intended to operate as a compounding of the public offence. And it is sometimes a nice question of law, whether the court will enforce an obligation given to pay for the private injury, as having been obtained under cirstances calculated to obstruct the course of public justice. It must be remembered that if, in a particular case, the plaintiff is not permitted to prevail in his civil suit, the consequence does not necessarily follow that he would be indictable. Sec 1 Bishop, Crim. Law, 505. H. A judge of an inferior court, acting in a case of which he has no jurisdiction, or exceeding his jurisdiction, is liable in damages to any party injured. Thus, a justice of the peace, who, in the course of the trial of a case of which n police court has exclusive jurisdiction, commits a witness to prison for contempt, is liable to an action by the witness. As the Police Court of Lowell has exclusive jurisdiction of all offences committed within that city, a record of a conviction, before a justice of the peace for the county of Middlesex, of an offence alleged to have been committed in the city of Lowell, shows primd facie n. want of jurisdiction in the justice. The record of a conviction by an inferior court must show, in ordcr to protect the justice from liability to n person imprisoned pursuant to such conviction, that the case was within the limits of his jurisdiction.

Book Description
Excerpt from Leading Cases Simplified: A Collection of the Leading Cases in Criminal Law The present volume completes the series of Lead ing Cases Simplified. In my. First volume Common Law Cases) I stated my object to be to present the lead ing cases of the Common Law in a brief and semi humorous form. The favor with which my attempt was received induced me, in a second volume, to treat in the same way the leading cases in Equity and Constitutional Law. And in this third volume, both the student and the practitioner will be able, I think, to find all the leading cases and all the principles of the criminal law, as admin istered at common law and to some extent as altered by statute.

Excerpt from A Selection of Cases and Other Authorities Upon Criminal Law A rearrangement of courses in the Harvard Law School has taken out of the course on Criminal Law and'included in a new course the topics of Causation, Justification, and Excuse. The chapters in which these topics were considered hare therefore been removed from this book. This third edition is identical with the second, except that the chapters mentioned, viz., Chapters V, VIII, and IX, and part of Chapter III of the old edition, have been removed; but this change has made necessary an entire renum bering of the pages in this edition.
