Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A"merican Law and the Legal System: Equal Justice Under the Law, Second Edition, provides the student with an overview of the system of law and government in the United States. While landmark cases and other cases of interest are referenced throughout the text, this is not a case-based textbook. Hypothetical cases are presented to help the student better understand the inner workings of the judicial system in both criminal and civil cases. Six illustrative cases are provided in an appendix to offer practical examples of the major concepts included in the introductory chapters of the text.

Book News Annotation:

New edition of an introductory text in which Van Dervort (political science, Middle Tennessee State U.) attempts to transcend a narrow disciplinary approach to the study of law by providing conceptual tools needed for roles as citizens, teachers, law enforcement agents, government employees, paralegals, and future lawyers and judges. Fourteen chapters discuss gaining familiarity with basic legal concepts, understanding civil law and criminal legal procedures, and administrative due process. Appendixes contain the Constitution of the U.S., illustrative cases in law, and witness statements.
