Customer Reviews

American Courts, a refresher

I bought this book as a pre-req for law school. I found it to be a good refresher for the court system and how it runs. If you are beginning law school or classes in government, you will want to review this book.

Helpful Tool

Nice concise description of the US Court system. The American judicial system is quite complex. This little book explains it in easy terms.

Every American Should Own This Book

This really is a fantastic book. Professor Meador, having spent half a century as a teacher at one of the world's finest law schools and as a consultant and advisor to legal scholars and judges from state courts to the Supreme Court, manages to speak to everyone who hasn't had the opportunity to attend law school. Reading this book won't make you a lawyer, but you will understand exactly what happens in our court systems - a must for new law students, foreign lawyers and anyone interested in how their nation's legal systems work. It was an invaluable help in my first year of law school, and worth every dime.
