Review:
Cultural Issues in Criminal Defense will not gather dust on any criminal defense attorney's shelf. It provides ideas, angles, and insights that will greatly assist any criminal defense attorney -- and perhaps any other attorney -- who faces the daunting task of guiding a person from another culture, nationality, or ethnic background through the American legal system. --Lori Seppi, Utah Bar Journal
This book is a great resource for lawyers representing foreigners charged with crimes, especially in the United States. The book is an excellent reference for practitioners, criminal justice professionals, and professionals working in comparative and international criminal law. An advantage of the book is that, in addition to describing the issues arising under each of the topics, it provides very practical advice on how to deal with the various areas and subareas. --Bruce Zagaris, Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe LLP, Washington, DC
I have the pleasure of serving as a Consulting Attorney for the Mexican Consulate in Orlando, Florida, and I found the book to be a tremendous resource in criminal cases, including representing a Mexican national in a collateral appeal intending to set aside a judgment and sentence of 25 years for deficient representation at trial. The book should be on the bookshelf of everyone interested in criminal law. It offers powerful tools for the practitioner. --Diego Handel, Daytona Beach, Florida
