To the Instructor

Welcome to the Instructor’s Manual with Test Bank to accompany Courts and Criminal
Justice in America by Siegel, Schmalleger, and Worrall. This manual is prepared to assist
you in preparing for your course in the most efficient and effective manner. Within each
chapter of the Instructor’s Manual will find a Chapter Overview, Chapter Objectives,
TE
Lecture Outline with teaching notes, List of Changes/Transition Guide for the 3nd edition,
a Mock Trial class activity, and Suggested Answers to End-of-Chapter Assignments
(Review Questions and What Will You Do?). All outlines have been modified to include
the updates and changes added to or deleted from the 2st edition of the text.

The mock trial exercises are created step-by-step in each chapter, culminating in a
S
presentation by your students. These instructions are prepared in such a way that all
instructors, including those without legal training, can guide students through a
successful presentation of a criminal trial within the confines and time period of a college
TS
course.

A test bank is included at the end of this manual with an answer key that will enable you
to test students at the end of each chapter or at intervals that meet your particular needs.

In conclusion, we hope that you will find this Instructor’s Manual to be effective in
O
teaching with the 3nd edition of the Siegel/Schmalleger/Worrall textbook.
