As a young English teacher keen to make a difference in the world, Michelle Kuo took a job at a tough school in the Mississippi Delta, sharing books and poetry with a young African-American teenager named Patrick and his classmates. For the first time, these kids began to engage with ideas and dreams beyond their small town, and to gain an insight into themselves that they had never had before. Two years later, Michelle left to go to law school; but Patrick began to lose his way, ending up jailed for murder. And that’s when Michelle decided that her work was not done, and began to visit Patrick once a week, and soon every day, to read with him again. Reading with Patrick is an inspirational story of friendship, a coming-of-age story for both a young teacher and a student, an expansive, deeply resonant meditation on education, race and justice, and a love letter to literature and its power to transcend social barriers.

More than 68 million people have downloaded the hit podcast Serial and 19.3 million viewers have watched Netflix's documentary series, Making a Murderer. Both examples tell the true stories of criminal defendants' experiences with our justice system through footage or audio recordings of the actual trial--essentially opening the courtroom doors to the public at large. By relying heavily on practical materials to guide students through the substantive law, Investigative Criminal Procedure: Inside This Century's Most (In)Famous Cases does the same for law students. Each chapter focuses on specific "real-world" defendants such as James Holmes, OJ Simpson, and Brendan Dassey--among many others. Core cases are presented in a logical and easy-to-follow order. The book also includes access to an online casefile repository where students can find actual litigation documents from each case--such as complaints, search warrants, transcripts, and interrogation videos.
