This is the first (and only) “multi-teacher” course I`ve had, where the four professors were articulate, engaging, well-prepared, and simply entertaining. The legal topics covered are very varied and the professors include historical and current arguments and examples. “Reasoning” is particularly interesting because it not only describes the current environment, but also provides general information about what it was in the past and why it has changed. This is one of my favorite courses and I recommend it to anyone interested in the law and/or our legal system. Preet Bharara has spent much of his life investigating our legal system, pushing for it to be improved, and prosecuting those who seek to undermine it. Bharara believes in our system and knows it must be protected, but to do so, he argues, we must also recognize and allow the mistakes of our justice system and human nature. Bharara uses the many illustrative anecdotes and case stories of her legendary and impressive career – successes and failures alike – to shed light on the realities of the legal system and the consequences of the action. E Pluribus Unum sheds light on the political context in which the common law has evolved and how it has affected the United States Constitution. In practice, the triumph of the common law over competing approaches has given lawyers more power than government officials. In the late 18th century, many colonial jurists began advocating a constitutional ideology that would become the doctrine of judicial review.
Here, the well-known jurist patiently went through the long development of many legal terms, which often began in antiquity. While teaching law, I like to pick anecdotes (for example, the image of an old bankrupt debtor whose body is physically divided and the parts distributed to creditors – not a world where you would casually buy a cappucino on your credit card). Ideas are pursued from ancient ancestors in the mists of pagan Northern Europe and so on – from revenge and confiscation of many offensive things (such as a tree that had fallen on a person, to cutting off many parts of the body), to replacing monetary damages, and other relatively friendlier and gentler legal solutions from Holmes` time (here, in the late 1800s). This book does for me what I love to do: create a basis for comparison with the things in my world today. If you don`t have a background in fundamental law, Holmes` expated knowledge of law becomes somehow boring, but contains a multitude of info.to law students that are not available in recent texts. Professor Eliason`s legal expertise in white-collar crime, combined with his experience as assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, turns what would be dry legal conferences in good hands into insightful investigations into some of the biggest crimes in U.S. history, involving notorious figures such as financial fraudster Bernie Madoff and former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling. Written by a master`s degree in law and language, it is a primary source book for anyone interested in legal theory or political science. For the layman, it serves to clarify the nature of the common law, the cornerstone of our current legal system. They begin with 12 lectures on litigation and legal practice, providing insightful answers to many questions about the arts and crafts of legislation.
In the other 12 lectures, you will learn how criminal law and procedural law – an area of law dramatized by countless television shows – actually work. Other conferences examine the civil procedures that courts follow to resolve substantive rights disputes and examine broader issues that each litigation system must address. And 12 conferences are entirely devoted to the subject of tort law. What do the thoughts of a voracious tiger have to do with the development of the American legal system? What is the connection between the works of Jane Austen and Ludwig van Beethoven and corporal punishment? In The Law of the Land, Charles Rembar explores these and many other topics and illustrates the surprisingly entertaining history of American law. Informative, educational and interesting. The justice system no longer intimidates me. Before listening to this, I had no knowledge of the subject, now I have a new respect and fascination for him. Thank you 1. Unlike other great textbooks, this book covered cases from 2017.2. Almost all the conferences explained the main trade-offs behind certain cases that a good judge must recognize.3. The book led me to read real legal cases that are referenced (and I`m not a lawyer). In tort law, we look at the black-letter rules of tort law, which have been tested at the MBE and the Faculty of Law.
By combining a simple approach to legal learning with the innovative appeal of an audio learning aid, Tort Law gives you a concise overview of the subject in a way that makes it easy to learn, understand and memorize. Tort law also includes many hypothetical examples and analyses to help you apply the rules of law to analyse certain patterns of fact.
