Description
Mastering U.S. Law: A Handbook for International Graduate Students Elizabeth Z. Stillman ISBN 9781531029494
Mastering U.S. Law: A Handbook for International Graduate Students is a comprehensive guide designed to support international graduate students throughout their journey in U.S. law schools—from application to the bar exam. Serving as the primary text for many Introduction to U.S. Law courses in LL.M. programs, this handbook also acts as a valuable reference for foreign-trained lawyers engaged in legal or quasi-legal work in the United States who seek a deeper understanding of the U.S. legal system.
The text presents the core principles of U.S. law, highlighting key differences from other legal systems worldwide. It emphasizes the role of case law and teaches students how to effectively use cases in legal analysis. The handbook also explains the unique classroom environment, teaching styles, and expectations in U.S. law schools, providing strategies for success, supported by charts and illustrative examples.
Chapters cover essential topics including the U.S. Constitution, state and federal court systems, legal analysis using case law, exam outlining, and exam strategies. Each chapter concludes with review questions suitable for assessments or in-class discussions. The book also includes a glossary of U.S. law school terms, historical context appendices, and practical guidance to help international students navigate and excel in the U.S. legal education system.
