The Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure; 2026 Edition is a compact, affordable reference covering the complete FRCrP text as amended through January 1, 2026. At 92 pages and 5" x 8", it is the smallest and lightest federal rules book in the Michigan Legal Publishing catalog, which makes it a natural fit for criminal defense attorneys, prosecutors, and public defenders who move between courtrooms and offices and need the rules immediately accessible without carrying anything bulky.
The book covers all nine titles of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, from applicability and preliminary proceedings through grand jury practice, arraignment, trial, post-conviction procedures, and general provisions. The complete rule set in 92 pages means there is no filler - just the current rules in a format sized for a coat pocket, trial bag, or the corner of a desk already covered in case files.
Law students use it as a casebook supplement for Criminal Procedure courses and as a study reference for bar exam preparation. Practitioners in federal criminal practice keep it on hand for quick citation during hearings, plea negotiations, and motion work. It is compatible with all major Criminal Procedure casebooks, including titles from Aspen, West Academic, and Foundation Press.
Updated annually by Michigan Legal Publishing Ltd. and current through January 1, 2026.
