Description

Whose Monet?: An Introduction to the American Legal System 3rd Edition John A. Humbach ISBN 9781543805628

This book is designed to ease the transition to law school by helping new law students make sense of the appellate cases they will read, the terminology they will encounter, and the structure of the legal system. It tells the story of a real case from client intake through trial and appeals. At each stage, the reader is shown the tasks and challenges that the lawyers face, and each stage concludes with the relevant judicial opinion, introducing students to the tasks of reading, briefing, and understanding a case. The Third Edition has been edited to enhance clarity and precision and to provide additional information in places where it would facilitate student understanding.

Professors and students will benefit from:

  • An engaging and immersive approach to exploring the American legal system
  • Author John A. Humbach's conversational, easy-to-read writing style
  • Illustrations and sample documents that familiarize students with legal documents such as motions, complaints, and similar case filings
  • Exploration of the ethical implications and historical context of the central case, DeWeerth v. Baldinger
  • Excerpts from testimony, commentary and jurisprudence that introduce students to the use of case file and secondary legal sources
  • Study Questions that encourage self-assessment and review
