Judge Weinberg has included “Practice Pointers”, which are designed to provide defense counsel and Assistant U.S. Attorneys with strategic suggestions for dealing with the Act.  The Handbook’s Table of Cases lists every federal appellate decision of significant precedential value that interprets or applies the Act.

The paperback format of this 2014 edition has been tailored to help readers find answers in a hurry. Its size permits it to be carried conveniently to and from the courtroom.

The book is $185.00 per copy, not including shipping charges of $7.50 per title, per consignee location.  There is a discount rate of 20% for 3 or more copies and of 33% for 100 or more copies.  To order a copy, contact the PLI Library Relations Help Desk or call 877-900-5291.
