This concise primer offers an introduction to U.S. law from a
comparative perspective, explaining not only the main features of
American law and legal culture, but also how and why it differs
from that of other countries. Gerrit De Geest initially focuses on
the core characteristics of American law, such as the predominance
of judge-made law, the significance of state law and the vital role
that juries play in the legal process. De Geest then moves on to
provide a succinct analysis of U.S. legal culture, before
summarizing the principal differences in law and legal cultures
around the world. Key features include: A thorough introduction to
the main elements of U.S. law for international students A concise,
accessible style illustrated with lively anecdotes and discussion
of relevant foundational cases Explanation of the historical and
cultural roots of law in the U.S. and other countries to provide
context for differences. Students beginning LLM programs in the
U.S., in particular international students, will find this primer
invaluable reading. It will also be of interest to pre-law and
comparative law students.
