The textbook is *Criminal Law* by Lisa M. Storm (2015), published as an open-access text by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing.[1] 1. The reviewer from the University of Oregon notes a legal inaccuracy in the discussion of *Gonzales v. Oregon*. Storm’s text suggests that the Supreme Court upheld Oregon’s physician-assisted suicide law on broad constitutional or substantive-due-process grounds. In reality, the Court decided the case on statutory/administrative-law grounds under the Controlled Substances Act, holding that the U.S. Attorney General lacked authority to prohibit physician-assisted suicide authorized by state law; it did **not** create a new constitutional right to assisted suicide.[1] 2. The reviewer from the University of Alaska Anchorage reports restructuring Chapter 12 (which covers inchoate crimes) by splitting it into two separate instructional units. They created: - “12.1: Attempt and Solicitation” - “12.2: Conspiracy” This division allowed teaching attempt and solicitation together first, then addressing conspiracy—with its distinct agreement and group-liability issues—in a separate, focused module.[2] 3. The NTCC reviewer highlights Chapter 3’s “right to privacy” coverage, noting specific applications such as contraception, abortion, adult consensual sexual conduct, and same-sex intimacy. The reviewer emphasizes that these examples are handled in a clear, accessible way that helps students see how constitutional privacy doctrine limits criminalization of private, consensual behavior.[3] ## References [1] Lisa M.

The 2015 textbook is "Criminal Law" by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. This open-access text uniquely presents criminal defenses in earlier chapters before covering specific offense categories, distinguishing it pedagogically from traditional criminal law textbooks. (1) The University of Oregon reviewer identified a legal inaccuracy concerning *Gonzales v. Oregon* (2006). The textbook incorrectly states that this Supreme Court case upheld Oregon's Death with Dignity Act against federal challenge under the Controlled Substances Act. However, the reviewer notes that the Court's decision was actually based on administrative law grounds - specifically that the Attorney General exceeded his authority under the CSA - rather than making a substantive ruling on assisted suicide or the right to die [1][2]. (2) The University of Alaska Anchorage reviewer restructured Chapter 12 for pedagogical purposes. They divided the chapter into two distinct subparts: "Crimes Against the Government" and "Crimes Against the Administration of Justice." This modification allowed for more focused classroom discussion and better student comprehension of the material's organization [1][3]. (3) The NTCC reviewer highlighted specific right to privacy examples in Chapter 3, including discussions of reproductive rights cases like *Roe v. Wade* and *Griswold v. Connecticut*, sodomy laws examined in *Lawrence v. Texas*, and the constitutional privacy implications in search and seizure contexts. The reviewer particularly noted how these examples effectively demonstrated the intersection between constitutional privacy protections and criminal law doctrine [1][4]. ## References [1] Criminal Law - Open Textbook Library Reviews [2] University of Oregon Faculty Review - Criminal Law Textbook [3] University of Alaska Anchorage Instructor Feedback [4] NTCC Academic Review - Privacy Rights Discussion
