This book provides an introduction to the American legal system for a broad readership. Its focus is on law in practice, on the role of the law in American society; and how the social context affects the living law of the United States. It covers the institutions of law creation and application, law in American government, American legal culture and the legal profession, American criminal and civil justice, and civil rights. Clearly written, the book has been widely used in both undergraduate and graduate courses as an introduction to the legal system; it will be useful, too, to a general audience interested in understanding how this vital social system works. This new edition follows the same basic structure as applied in the previous editions providing a thorough revision and reworking of the text. This edition reflects upon what has happened in the years since the second edition was published in 1998, and how these events and evolutions have shaped our fundamental comprehension of the workings of the American legal system today.

This is the 2022 paperback printing of the casebook published in 2017. To see the hardcover version, please click here. The third edition of this book has been updated to cover essential developments in American law. Some areas, such as same-sex marriage, have changed dramatically since the second edition. The fundamental rules, court cases, concepts, and trends of key subjects in American law are presented in a narrative that is tailored to the reader who does not have an American legal background. Each chapter offers streamlined versions of illustrative cases, summarizes the leading doctrines, analyzes trends, highlights areas of contemporary debate, raises questions for further discussion, and lists important vocabulary words. The book allows students from anywhere to learn American law through cases, as American lawyers do, but also provides the context they may need to make sense of the opinions. This book is ideal for those who want to understand the contemporary American legal system at more than a superficial level, but who are not currently studying to become American lawyers. The style, organization and content make it useful for a variety of readers: those planning to enter law school, legal assistants, students of American law outside the United States, American undergraduates taking a course in American law and/or in a pre-law program, and graduate level students in areas impacted by American law. In addition to the content, the size, weight, and price of the book make it attractive to students and teachers alike.

Excerpt from Introduction to American Law But I have entitled this book, an Introduction to American Law, and I may be called upon to vindicate the propriety of this title. I confess then, that in some minor respects, it may not be equally adapted to all parts of the Union; but my excuse is, that without being ten times as large as it is, 'it could not have been made so. If I had possessed the knowledge, I could not, within any reasonable compass, have referred to the local law of twenty-six different states; and yet local references were occasionally necessary, in order to exhibit an entire system. I was compelled, therefore, in such cases, to make choice of some particular state; and I naturally selected that state in which the lectures were read. But these local references, in an out line so general as this, are not so frequent as to detract materially from the general adaptation of the book, to students in other states; and in case of diversity, the necessary corrections can be easily made. At all events, the diversity is less between the different states, than between any one state and England; and therefore something is cer tainly gained even on the score of general adaptation. And here let me anticipate an objection of another sort. It may be said, that in attempting to teach what the law is, I have dwelt too much upon what I think it should be; or, in other words, that in a work professedly didactic, I have speculated too much upon projects of reform. To this objection I have two answers. In the first place, I have never undertaken to show what the law ought to be, without first stating what it is. While therefore the primary end of instruo tion is obtained, the mind of the student is at the same time excited to compare, examine and discuss the principles in question; and thus impress them the more deeply upon his memory. And in the second place, if the suggestions I have ventured to make be sound, they can not be made too early, because bad laws are the very worst of bad things; and if these suggestions be not sound, they can do no harm, because the antidote accompanies the bane; nay the provision com plained of will inspire increased confidence in the mind of the student from having been unsuccessfully assailed. But I cannot help believing that many of the proposed alterations would be decided improvements. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
