Updated for the first time since 2015, the 2d Edition of Warnken's Maryland Criminal Procedure is a comprehensive "one-stop shop" for anyone involved in the practice of criminal law. Written by a team of some of Maryland's most renowned criminal law practitioners, the treatise contains more than 10,000 cases, rules, and statutes, broken down into specific topic areas for ease of reference.

Judge Charles Moylan, Jr. described the first edition as a "monumental contribution to our legal literature." In his Foreword to the second edition, Dean Ronald Weich of the University of Baltimore notes that the update "is a most valuable and timely supplement to Professor Warnken's original masterwork."

This two-volume treatise is an indispensable resource for prosecutors, public defenders, defense counsel, judges, and attorneys, including those who deal only infrequently with criminal law.
