Inside the American Legal Mind (eBook, ePUB)

An International Practitioner Guide to American Legal Reasoning

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Inside the American Legal Mind:An International Practitioner Guide to American Legal Reasoning clearly explains how to navigate within US legal practice. Precedent drives the interpretive process, providing the pillars upon which an American lawyer builds a case. Understanding how to capture relevant aspects of precedent, merge those aspects with precedent from seemingly distinct cases, and applying the resulting formula to a given fact pattern can be a harrowing experience for anyone untrained in the American legal mind. This book bridges that gap for aspiring lawyers in America as well as for foreign legal practitioners. Fandl clearly and concisely demonstrates how to research, analyze, and ultimately condense legal ideas into written form in the American legal style.
