Federal Rules of Criminal Procedures: December 2018

The Federal Rules outline the procedure for conducting federal criminal trials. The U.S. Constitution, the Federal Rules and the federal court system’s interpretations of both provide guidance and procedural canons that law enforcement must follow. Failure to follow such procedure may result in the suppression of evidence or the release of an arrested suspect. Professionals, such as attorneys, law enforcement, corporate and Federal, state, municipal employees, especially executive managers, U.S. Courts personnel, members of the U.S. military and students pursuing degrees in criminal justice or international law may be interested in these recent topical publications produced by the US Federal Government as guidance for community safety and procedures.
