- The Criminal Law/Music Outline -

By Richard E.Klausner,
Chief Public Defender, Iowa City Office

          The following outline is merely a quick resource and not intended to encompass all of the relevant music and you should always do your own research. I would also like to thank the editors of the Code Of Iowa for the general outline format allowing for such a clear and rational organization of so much material. Also, thanks to Sue Kirk (See 3.7B(a)2,1c,1.7) for lots of the songs. If you like any of the following music, please support the artist and purchase their disc by clicking here.
