Recommended Titles and Treatises
To help provide access to the Texas State Law Library's legal resources, the reference librarians have selected the most noteworthy titles in our collection and arranged them here by subject. The titles listed for each subject feature a brief summary written by a reference librarian, and each subject's titles are divided into those that are specific to Texas law and those that aren't.

Criminal Procedure
Federal criminal procedure litigation manual
1 volume. Updated annually.
This very practical manual provides the text of each Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure and then provides a commentary to highlight the “key issues” associated with the rule. "Practice Tips" for both the defense and prosecution are included to help put the rules in to practice. Providing citations to related rules, constitutional and statutory provisions, leading cases and treatises allows the reader to easily locate additional information, while keeping the manual compact. Reprints of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence are included as appendix material.
