Jens Ohlin’s Criminal Law is designed to respond to the changing nature of law teaching by offering a shorter, flexible, and more doctrinal approach, with an emphasis on application. Materials are presented, in a visually lively style, via a consistently structured pedagogy within each chapter: Doctrine (treatise-like explanation), Application (cases), and Practice/Policy (questions providing an opportunity for normative critique of the law and exploration of practical and strategic challenges facing criminal lawyers). Theory is integrated into the doctrine section rather than conveyed through law review excerpts, so as to help students make the necessary connections to doctrinal issues. Aggressively-edited cases help keep the length to a minimum, and modern cases will engage younger students and professors.

New to the Fourth Edition:

Completely reconfigured chapter on accomplice liability:
Streamlined discussion of the required mens rea and different cases for both mens rea and the natural and probable consequences doctrine.
Relegation of the Rosemond case to the notes.
Relegation of advanced aspects of the doctrine to the notes.
The chapter is reconfigured to acknowledge statutory changes in California sharply limiting the natural and probable consequences doctrine in homicide cases.
Changes in the chapter on manslaughter, especially the jurisdictional split on recklessness versus negligence as the required mental element for involuntary manslaughter, with a cataloguing of the required mens rea in each state.
Re-edited Norman case in the Self-Defense chapter to enhance teachability.
New material in the Act Requirement chapter dealing with addiction/intoxication and homelessness as status crimes.
