American Law in a Global Context: The Basics, now in a thoroughly revised edition, is an elegant and erudite introduction to the American legal system from a global perspective. Drawing on some comparative examples with a focus on American law, George P. Fletcher, Hoi L. Kong, and Steve Sheppard introduce underlying principles of common and civil law, constitutional, criminal, and public law, and property and procedure. The appendices include an introduction to the common law method, instruction on how to read a case, the interpretation of statutes, and an introduction to the Federal system and US courts systems. This revised edition offers a greater focus on American law itself and includes the addition of an easy-to-use Bibliography as well as a new Civil Procedure Appendix. Fletcher, Kong, and Sheppard provide a clear roadmap through essential areas of US law with in-depth analyses of well-known cases. These cases allow readers the opportunity to examine not only law as theory but as practice, while guiding them to further exploration through suggested readings. A must-own reference source for LLM students, undergraduates, and students of US law in other countries. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2025

Whatever your background, if you seek an understanding of the legal system of the United States, this is the book for you. American Law in a Global Context is an elegant and erudite introduction to the American legal system from a global perspective. It covers the law and lawyering tools taught in the first year of law school, explaining the underlying concepts and techniques of the common law used in U.S. legal practice. The ideas central to the development and practice of American law, as well as constitutional law, contracts, property, criminal law, and courtroom procedure, are all presented in their historical and intellectual contexts, accessible to the novice but with insight that will inform the expert. Actual cases illuminate each major subject, engaging readers in the legal process and the arguments between real people that make American law an ever-evolving system. George P. Fletcher and Steve Sheppard''s exciting approach contrasts the American legal system with other legal systems, especially those of continental Europe. This comparison illuminates the core concepts of US law, making them easily understandable to readers from other systems, and offering a unique perspective on American law as part of global network of laws. Designed to help the foreign student grasp the basic ideas of pedagogy, legal institutions, and substantive law in the US, appendices include an introduction to the common law method, instruction on how to read a case, and the interpretation of statutes. Based on the course for lawyers from across the globe studying American law at Columbia University, this cutting edge volume makes the basics of American legal education accessible to students and the public worldwide. A must-own reference source for LLM students, undergraduates, and students of US law in other countries. - Häftad, Engelska, 2010

What should the people expect from their legal officials? This book asks whether officials can be moral and still follow the law, answering that the law requires them to do so. It revives the idea of the good official - the good lawyer, the good judge, the good president, the good legislator - that guided Cicero and Washington and that we seem to have forgotten. Based on stories and law cases from America's founding to the present, this book examines what is good and right in law and why officials must care. This overview of official duties, from oaths to the law itself, explains how morals and law work together to create freedom and justice, and it provides useful maxims to argue for the right answer in hard cases. Important for scholars but useful for lawyers and readable by anybody, this book explains how American law ought to work. - Häftad, Engelska, 2009

Katie and Steve Sheppard have led married lives full of coincidence, fortuity, chance, and kismet. From their earliest days in college facing the uncertainties of the military draft to coping with a later-life diagnosis of Alzheimer''s Disease, their days have been filled with remarkable events and outcomes that would seem to defy the odds. The two began to recognize the presence of an "angel on their shoulders," an observation first suggested to Steve by his mom when he was a young boy. That spirit served as an angel-in-residence throughout the whole of their lives. In their words, they have led a "fairy tale life."
The litany of unlikely, coincidental, incredible things that have happened to them along the way would fill a book like Ripley''s Believe It or Not. It includes stories of adopting not one but two sets of twins from Korea, where the incidence of twin births was quite low; the unlikely circumstances of separately encountering both sets of birth parents during a subsequent visit to that country; the uncertainty of Steve''s leaving an executive job with two kids in college and two on the way but with no plan in hand, only to find a life''s calling the very next day; the unreal real estate chain of events that brought them back to reside in their college town; the acquisition of a home on Madeline Island on Lake Superior some thirty years after Steve''s parents had owned it; Katie''s improbable diagnosis in 2019, and the gifts that it has presented.
But their story is not only about unlikely events. It''s a story of lifelong love between two people and the gratitude that they have felt for it. They''ve had an angel on their shoulders since the beginning. They know it. They acknowledge it. They can''t explain it. They are immensely grateful for it, and they never doubt its presence--even when they are tested.
