Review :
‘George Fletcher, America's leading criminal law scholar, also happens to be a gifted storyteller, known for his gripping first-person account of the Bernhard Goetz trial. In his new book, he offers compelling narratives of eleven famous trials – from the trial of Jesus to that of O.J. Simpson – and uses each to bring to life a fundamental problem of criminal justice. Eye-opening and thought-provoking, it is both a great teaching resource and an entertaining read!’ ‘Landmark trials have deeply influenced societal understandings of law throughout the ages. George Fletcher invites us to reflect on these great transformations – beginning with the convictions of Jesus Christ by Pontius Pilate and moving onward to the recent decision by American courts to acquit Salim Hamdan of terrorism in the Afghan War. The publication of his book couldn’t be more timely as all of us reflect on the larger implications of Derek Chauvin’s murder conviction.’ ‘Penned by perhaps the world’s leading comparative criminal law scholar, Advanced Introduction to Landmark Criminal Cases is a rich and fascinating account of the leading criminal trials from around the world and from ancient history to the present day. The book would be perfect as a supplement to a first-year Criminal Law class, challenging enough to serve as the principal text for an upper-level advanced law school class, engaging enough for an undergrad class about the law, yet sufficiently suffused with clear explanation for the general reader. It is yet another wonderful book from the criminal law master.’
