Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book thoroughly investigates the vital Sixth Amendment. The history of its inception and role throughout our country's development is spelled out to give students a complete story of how the rights of those accused of a crime have come to be defined as they now are. It further investigates the way that this right is interpreted by the courts and how it is upheld by the law today.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 122-123) and index.
