Law 101 : Everything You must Find out about American Law ? $21.95
More Details
The primary two editions of the very best-selling Law 101 provided readers with a vividly written and indispensable portrait of our nation?s legal system. Now, during this third edition, Jay M. Feinman offers a completely updated survey of yank law that includes fresh material on 2009 Supreme Lawsuits, the legal response to the war on terror (including the Guantanamo detainees and electronic surveillance), and to the most recent developments in Internet law.
In a book brimming with legal puzzles, interesting anecdotes, and thought-provoking questions, Jay M. Feinman?s clear introduction to the law provides us with a pretty good understanding of the yankee legal tradition and covers the most important subjects taught within the first year of law school. Readers are introduced to each aspect of the legal system, from constitutional law and the litigation process to tort law, contract law, property law, and criminal law. Feinman illuminates each discussion with many intriguing, outrageous, and infamous cases, from the scalding coffee case that cost McDonald?s half 1,000,000 dollars, to the sensational murder trial in Victorian London that brought about the legal definition of insanity, to the epochal decision in Marbury v. Madison that gave the Supreme Court the ability to declare state and federal law unconstitutional. He broadens the reader?s legal vocabulary, clarifying the meaning of everything from ?due process? and ?equal protection? in constitutional law to the excellence between ?murder? and ?manslaughter? in criminal law. Perhaps principal, we learn that though the law is voluminous and complicated, it?s accessible to all.
Everyone who wants a greater grasp of current legal issues?from students contemplating law school, to journalists covering the legislature or the courts, to fans of Court TV?will find here an excellent source of data: a total, clear, and colorful map of the yankee legal system.
