An Introduction to Law, Law Study, and the Lawyer's Role
Fourth Edition
Description :
This unique book is designed to introduce non-lawyers to what law is and how it is interpreted and made, and to prepare prospective law
students for law school. Although primarily intended for those interested in going to law school, it is also very useful for those who simply want a working knowledge of how the American legal system actually works. The text is highly pragmatic, helping the reader understand not just theory but the realities of how law works and what lawyers actually do to assist clients in the real world. To that end, it contains a sample legal problem along with the necessary legal materials to address it and an illustrative answer.
