Description
Habeas corpus law changed dramatically after Congress passed the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) in 1996. This new book provides a comprehensive view of the latest developments in the field and will continue to be supplemented as Congress passes new legislation and as courts try to make sense of how that legislation affects habeas law.After providing a background on the history of habeas corpus and an overview of common habeas corpus claims, the book examines subject matter jurisdiction, habeas corpus litigation, clemency, stays of execution, and innocence. The book concludes by examining the future of habeas corpus litigation.While this book is primarily intended for law students, it will be useful for attorneys specializing in post-conviction and habeas work. It will also be a valuable addition to the libraries of appellate public defenders across the country.
