Introduction to American Legal System

Reviews / Votes

"The authors have done a superb job of providing a comprehensive and detailed description of the complex American legal system, written in a style that permits even beginning students of the legal system to understand the subject matter thoroughly. This volume will be a very valuable reference handbook to those whose livelihood is earned in American courts." - George R. Poehner, Former Chairman Standing Committee on Legal Assistants, State Bar of Texas





"As a straightforward description of the judicial process from beginning to end it is almost ideal for the person who is new to the court system . . . .The book is arranged so that even the complete novice can grasp the basic ideas . . . [The authors] comment on the public's criticism, and then attempt to explain why a particular procedure or law is necessary in order to guarantee citizens their constitutional rights. This frank approach allows readers to look at the material in an intelligent manner, making their own judgments about the law's merits and faults." - Legal Information Alert
