This easy-to-read and appealing introduction to the American legal system tells the story of a real lawsuit (DeWeerth v. Baldinger) from the time the client first identifies a problem through trial and appeals. Following the course of the dispute over the ownership of a valuable painting, "Whose Monet? An Introduction to the American Legal System" presents the basic concepts of civil lawsuits and of the American system of common law. The organization is straightforward and the easy, conversational writing style is ideal for anyone interested in learning how the American legal system works.
Great Introduction to the Legal System
| Customer Rating: | | Great for students in college who are taking a law class and for anyone interested in going to law school. A must read for those starting law school! |
Dry, Typos
| Customer Rating: | | The case that forms the basis of this text, DeWeerth v. Baldinger, is interesting, but the rest of it drags. I was significantly bored, for example, during the somewhat repititious discussion of common law in chapter 7, though perhaps this is just the nature of the material. Making things worse, however, are the grammatical errors and typos. My conservative estimate is at least 30 errors, more than I have ever encountered in a published text. Some of them appear to be caused by a lazy copy editor using spellcheck ("We has a general household insurance policy...", pp. 227). Others are just ridiculous, for example, "impressssionistic" on page 193. They are quite distracting, and are sometimes downright confusing, making the task of being attentive to the dry material more difficult. |
