This list is comprised of multi-volume subscription-based serial titles available in print on the third floor of the library. They tend to go into great depth on their given topic, and typically represent the most probing and comprehensive discussion of Criminal Law available.
Please note that unfortunately, many of our subscriptions to multi-volume serials have lapsed, and our Criminal Law serials are no exception. They can still be of some use for first-year-class-level inquiry, however, and most of these resources are available electronically through various channels.
Criminal Law Reporter by Bureau of National Affairs
BNA, now a subsidiary of Bloomberg, is essentially a national legal news agency. For many years it has published a wide range of current awareness resources on a variety of topics, most notably their Reporters. The Criminal Law Reporter is a collection of cases drawn from around the country and selected as especially noteworthy at the time of initial publication. Useful as an historical reference.
Complete Manual of Criminal Forms by F. Lee Bailey and Kenneth J. Fishman
Criminal litigation involves voluminous forms and filings, and Bailey and Fishman's serial aims to be the most comprehensive collection of state and federal forms available. As a practical matter, state-specific formbooks tend to be more useful for individual attorneys simply because they aren't likely to need material for more than the one jurisdiction, but those national firms with Criminal Defense divisions in multiple states all subscribe to Bailey and Fishman. Available on Westlaw.
Anderson's Ohio Criminal Practice by Robert Gorman, et al
This title has the distinction of being the premier treatise on Ohio Criminal Law available, bar none. Part of the Anderson's Ohio series, published by LexisNexis. Covers both substantive law and procedure, and available in our Ohio Collection on the 4th Floor, as well as Lexis+.
White Collar Crime by Joel M. Androphy
This treatise is a comprehensive arraignment-to-sentencing guide to prosecuting and defending white collar crimes. This is, of course, only one small subject within Criminal Law, but Androphy's work is indicative of the best kinds of Criminal Law serials: there is very little abstraction here, and the primary focus is on assisting both sides of active litigation. This style is far more prevalent in criminal treatises than civil ones, simply because litigation is such a constant and fundamental part of the practice. Available on Westlaw.
