Federal Bail & Detention Handbook – New edition, new format

PLI published the Federal Bail and Detention Handbook, 2011 edition.  Previously, this title was published in a binder and supplemented annually.  This year we published in a soft-cover format and the book costs roughly what the supplements cost in the past.  We will publish a new edition each year —which means you no longer have to file the supplements!  In addition, this title is now more portable and can easily be carried to court, to meetings, or anywhere else you want to take it.  And, we updated the typefaces and layout to make everything easier to use.  The only thing we didn’t change is the content.  The content is the same valuable content you’ve come to expect– all the latest significant developments under the Federal Bail Reform Act as reported by the Honorable John Weinberg, including his invaluable table of U.S. Supreme Court and Circuit decisions.
