Description

Introduction to the Study of U.S. Law 3rd Edition Robert H. Klonoff ISBN 9798895451113

This book is designed to introduce students to the key elements of the first-year curriculum at a U.S. law school. The opening chapter provides an overview of the U.S. legal system, while the next seven chapters focus on foundational subjects—constitutional law, civil procedure, contracts, torts, property, criminal procedure, and criminal law—each covered in its own chapter. While the first chapter draws primarily from articles and commentary, the remaining chapters are centered on edited court decisions.

Each chapter includes notes and questions that highlight important issues for discussion and provide citations to cases, articles, and other resources for deeper study.

The book serves multiple audiences:

  1. International law students pursuing U.S. degrees – LL.M. or S.J.D. students can use this text for an intensive introduction to U.S. law, building a foundation before taking upper-division courses.

  2. International students learning U.S. law outside the U.S. – Professors can teach courses in foreign law schools using this text, including U.S.-trained faculty teaching at their home institutions.

  3. Undergraduate students – Those considering law school or simply interested in basic legal concepts can benefit from this text, which can be taught by U.S. law professors at undergraduate institutions.

All these students share a common goal: to learn the fundamentals of U.S. law in a single course. They benefit not only from the substantive materials but also from gaining experience in the core areas of legal study.
