Proving Federal Crimes
By, David Nissman

My friend, U.S. Attorney  David Nissman, while researching in the Caribbean Collection of the Florence Williams Public Library, mentioned to me the work he was completing, his dream book, Proving Federal Crimes: Corpus Juris Publishing Co. 2001.

From 1954--1981 there have been seven editions of the publication by the United States Department of Justice.  Dave acknowledges the work of the hundreds of scholars who have developed the publication.  When the DOJ made a public release of the book and allowed anyone to recreate it, he took advantage of the opportunity.  What he has produced is an excellent source for the legal profession and associated fields and also one the public library will find useful to its patrons as well.  Material is presented in a very well organized manner with an extensive table of contents and index.  Each section is numbered for easy referral.  The language is such that the lay person can easily follow and comprehend. 

A glimpse of what's in it for you...

  • Contains published guidelines from the FBI and the Department of Justice including the new informant guidelines
  • Contains strategic considerations from the Federal Defenders
  • Provides guidance from the Federal Judicial Center
  • Contains chapter on corporate and organizational prosecutions
  • Contains comprehensive treatment of the limitations of federal jurisdiction
  • Filled with practical answers on all aspects of criminal cases
  • Thoroughly indexed making it easy to find the information you need.

I am recommending this books for not only legal libraries, I think it will be useful in public, academic and certain special libraries.  Visit http://corpusjurispublishing.com/pr01.htm for more on the publication and what others have to say about it.

Proving Federal Crimes

Proving Federal Crimes From 1954-1981 the Department of Justice published seven editions of Proving Federal Crimes. But in the twenty years since the book was last published by the Department of Justice, much more than just the law has changed. Now, federal agents and prosecutors work together at the inception of the investigation and 80% of the federal prosecutor’s job takes place before he/she goes to court. This private commercial edition of Proving Federal Crimes is the first book ever written for both law enforcement agents and litigators. Beginning with structuring the investigation, PFC devotes the first ten chapters to evidence gathering techniques and includes handling informants, search warrants and wiretaps, how to prevent suspects from becoming fugitives, obtaining foreign evidence, digital evidence, computerized crime scene re-enactments, how to trace emails and virtually every investigative technique is revealed in this book. PFC then takes agents and litigators, step by step, through the grand jury and the trial process. Learn what the federal prosecutor’s published policy guidelines are for initiating cases. With this book you will never be lost in the federal criminal justice system. PFC contains materials from federal law enforcement agency manuals, the U.S. Attorneys’ Manual, the Federal Judges’ Benchbook, and even material from the Federal Defenders’ publications. Prepare and present successful cases with Proving Federal Crimes.
