Book excerpt: This book is designed to give students the background they need to start law school successfully. Since the best law schools seek a diverse class in terms of background and education, not all incoming law students are familiar with our legal system. This book introduces legal education, the legal profession, the legal system, and primary sources of the law including statutes and cases. It covers basic principles of statutory construction and the evolution of the common law through judicial decisions. While the book starts with the basics, it also introduces some more sophisticated issues including the United States Supreme Court's same-sex marriage decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, which weaves together several themes covered in the book. The fourth edition updates all the statistical information about legal education and the legal profession, uses a new series of cases showing the evolution of the common law, and includes the Obergefell case to illustrate the complex interplay of legal doctrines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is “law” and where does it come from? Law does not only exist in a courtroom and law is not only created by legislators. Law is all around us and is under constant transformation. Introduction to Law and the Legal System course will focus on the many different meanings of law and the role of law in modern life. In this course we will examine the functions of law in society from a constitutional, statutory and judicial perspective, noting the role each of these has played in shaping the current legal framework in the United States. This class introduces students to the relationship between law, societal organizations (both nongovernmental organizations and not-for-profit organizations), the private sector, and the separate branches of government (the judiciary, congressional, and executive branches). The course is structured to provide students with the opportunity to learn to legally analyze judicial opinions, prepare legal memoranda, and present an oral argument before a “judge.” Throughout the semester we will explore the role of the citizen within the legal system and the effects that laws can have on society. We will discuss issues such as affirmative action, free speech, and tort reform. In this course we will examine how useful the law is in resolving disputes, to what extent our legal system either reflects or promotes social inequality, and whether our courts are living up to their democratic ideals. During this course, students will have the opportunity to learn how to analyze judicial opinions, to prepare case briefs and an appellate memorandum, to observe an actual courtroom, and to present an oral argument before a panel of lawyers acting as judges.

Book excerpt: "The study of law attracts students for a variety of reasons. Many see the study of law as a career choice - as the opportunity to become a lawyer, a paralegal, or some other related professional. Some are interested because of personal dealings with the legal system, while others are interested simply because it is a fascinating subject. Whatever reasons motivate the student, an introductory class in law must accomplish certain basic objectives. Students must develop an understanding of the organization of the legal system. They must comprehend basic legal concepts related to procedural and substantive law. Students should also be introduced to cases, statutes, regulations, and the Constitution, the sources of all of our laws. While students in an introductory law class should not be forced to learn about the law entirely through reading cases, some experience in reading cases is essential to learning about the law. Our years of teaching convince us that any introductory law course must begin with and emphasize the development of a strong legal vocabulary. Also important is the opportunity to use and develop the critical thinking skills so important to any law-related career. Our goal, therefore, in writing this text is to help instructors by providing beginning students with a book that keeps their interest while providing an overview of the organization and operation of the legal system, as well as an introduction to some of the basic concepts of substantive and procedural law. More importantly, however, we have included several features that give students the opportunity to develop a strong legal vocabulary and to build their critical thinking skills. Feedback from instructors and students who use this text confirmed that the basic organization and features of this textbook are successful. Students especially appreciate the extensive key term definitions in the margin, the interesting cases, and the wide use of common hypothetical cases to explain the application of legal principles. These features remain in the text. However, the law is not, nor will it ever be, a static entity. Any useful textbook dealing with the law must reflect these changes. As a result, our goal in this edition is to also provide students with the following"--
