Research Canons: Criminal Procedure
Our next subject matter for the research canons project is Criminal Procedure. (See here for a discussion of the research canons project, including categories, dates, and links to prior installments.) Please comment on the books and articles that are essential to a new academic in the field. In addition to listing your suggestions, you want to say a little about why the book or article is so important for new scholars.

On the bargaining front, I would add Malcolm Feeley, "The Process is the Punishment" and Milton Heumann, "Plea Bargaining."

Let me suggest just a few relatively recent pieces that newbies should read:
Miller and Wright, The Screening/Bargaining Tradeoff, in Stanford LR
The symposium on plea-bargaining in the YLJ back in the 1990's (Stuntz and Scott, Easterbrook, and others)
Steiker and Steiker's Sober Second thoughts on the death penalty (HLR)
Stephen Bright's piece in YLJ on death penalty lawyer inequalities
Stith and Cabranes' book on Fear of Judging, and Marvin Frankel's Criminal Sentences: Law without order books are biggies on federal sentencing.
