Most of us know very little about the law. We pick up bits of information from television and newspaper accounts of current legal battles, and from bestselling novels and popular movies. But these pieces do not give us an accurate or complete picture.
In Law 101, Jay M. Feinman offers a delightfully clear introduction to law, covering the main subjects found in the first year of law school and giving us a basic understanding of the American legal tradition. Readers are introduced to every aspect of the legal system, from constitutional law and
the litigation process to tort law, contract law, property law, and criminal law. Feinman illuminates each discussion with many intriguing, outrageous, and infamous cases, from the scalding coffee case that cost McDonald's half a million dollars, to the sensational murder trial in Victorian London
that led to the legal definition of insanity, to the epochal decision in Marbury v. Madison that gave the Supreme Court the power to declare state and federal laws unconstitutional. He broadens the reader's legal vocabulary, clarifying the meaning of everything from "due process" and "equal
protection" in constitutional law, to the distinction between "murder" and "manslaughter" in criminal law. Perhaps most important, we learn that law is voluminous and complex, but accessible to everyone.
Anyone who enjoys Court TV will find this book irresistible. Everyone who wants a better grasp of current legal issues, from students contemplating law school to journalists covering the legislature or the courts, will find here a wonderful source of information--a complete, clear, and colorful
map of the American legal system.

评分相比国内的其它法律英语教材，本书无比优越！短短3百多页，就可以让我们对美国法律有个大概的了解。而且作者语言地道，引用案例丰富，处处引人思考！ 不足的是，翻译的单词不准确，翻译也很生硬！给出注释单词的英文解释更好！
用户评价
粗略的扫了一遍，蛮全面的。前三章非常无聊，虽然整本书…也挺无聊的… criminal law那里稍微有趣一些了
评分终于...读完了????
评分最重要的一点：被人告最大的原因是自己触犯了法律并且有油水可榨。更需要看下详细的外国人法和税法、商法。
评分excellent
评分挺好的美国法律入门书，像挤牙膏一样一点一点地读完了...
