Defense counsel who is appointed by the court . . . has exactly the same duties and burdens and responsibilities as the highly paid, paid-in-advance criminal lawyer.  (Ferri v. Ackerman, 444 U.S. 193,200 [1979])

Erisman's is a needed legal research tool in every law library.
--John Hagler, Former Chief Appellate Attorney, Dallas County District Attorney's Office

Erisman's continues as the mainstay of the criminal lawyer and the vital and necessary tool of the civil lawyer who has been appointed to a criminal case.

Having utilized Erisman's since its original publication in the 50's, I can truthfully say that its update by Arch McColl and Mike McColloch has made the book even more valuable to the criminal practitioner. Courts, prosecutors, and defense counsel owe you a debt of gratitude for your efforts. --Frank Maloney, Former Judge, Texas Court of Ciminal Appeals
