Nathaniel Burney’s “Illustrated Guide to Criminal Law”
by Ashley Matthews
Tired of using hornbooks and hand-me-down outlines to study criminal law?
Nathaniel Burney offers an entertaining and non-traditional alternative. Using his own collection of anecdotal drawings, Burney started a web series of legal cartoons meant to explore concepts dealing with criminal law – then appropriately titled “The Criminal Lawyer’s Guide to Criminal Law”. Now, all 17 installments of his drawings are available in “The Illustrated Guide to Criminal Law,” a beautifully drawn 260-page book that addresses everything from the legal definition of a crime to sentence enhancements for terrorism.
For your personal enjoyment, here’s a small taste of the Introduction:
Cheers to legal cartoons! The book can be purchased from Jones McClure Publishing.
