This brief, accessible, and inexpensive supplement on American courts and their functions provides undergraduate, or first-year law students, with an understanding of the key substantive and procedural concepts that they need to know to study the law or the judicial process.
Recognizing that there are many substantive and procedural concepts about American courts that students must first grasp in order to study the law or the judicial process, this brief text answers important questions about justiciability, standing, jurisdiction, and judicial power. With a stronger historical context, this text is a perfect complement to a text on Constitutional Law, Judicial Process, or a legal casebook, and will help students master the legal vocabulary with which they are confronted.
Features + Benefits
Includes a chapter on the history of American courts to help students understand the law and legal institutions as human institutions that function within specific contexts.
Appendix on "Analyzing Opinions and Briefing Cases" helps students discern and articulate the opinions and cases they are assigned in a Constitutional Law text.
Appendix on "Finding and Citing Legal Sources" gives students a firm grounding in the standards of legal notation that they are asked to use in the course or find in any law text they are assigned.
Written from the perspective of a lawyer, who also teaches in the political science department, makes the text useful in both undergraduate and first year law classes.
Short chapters written in a straightforward style make this text an excellent reference tool for students at any level.
