The Study of Law Description
The Study of Law 3 Edition The Study of Law is a sweeping, intelligent overview of all the key concepts covered in a typical introduction to law course. A critical thinking approach encourages students to interact with the materials through hypotheticals, examples, and well-designed questions. The text is divided into two parts, reflecting the order of topics addressed in a typical course. The first part, Introduction to the Legal System, presents the sources and classification of law, the structure of the court system, and an overview of litigation. The second part, Basic Legal Concepts, covers the fundamental analysis and interpretation of the law as well as substantive law. The chapters on substantive law use carefully edited cases to teach students how to read and analyze the law. The Study of Law teaches students the basic skills necessary to understand statutes and court cases, and effective pedagogy reinforces the accessible and well-organized text. Appendices address the U.S. Constitution, Fundamentals of Good Writing, and NetNotes.The Third Edition features updated cases and incorporates new developments in the law. Legal reasoning exercises similarly reflect new cases, and Web exercises accompany this revised edition.Hallmark features of Study of Law:comprehensive, intelligent overview of all key concepts covered in a typical introduction to law coursecritical thinking approachintroduces students to the study of lawencourages interaction with the materials through hypotheticals, examples, and well-designed questionstwo part structure mirrors course outlineIntroduction to the Legal Systemsources and classification of lawthe structure of the court systeman overview of litigationBasic Legal Conceptsthe basics of analysis and interpretation of the lawchapters on substantive lawTeaches the basic skills necessary to understand statutes and court casesStrong pedagogyreinforces well-written textpresented in an accessible, well-organized formatsubstantive law chapters use edited cases to show students how to read and analyze the lawhelpful AppendicesU.S. ConstitutionFundamentals of Good WritingNetNotesThe revised Third Edition presents:updated cases and new developments in the lawrefreshed Legal reasoning exercises that reflect new casesWeb exercises
