Inside the American Legal Mind:An International Practitioner Guide
to American Legal Reasoning clearly explains how to navigate within
U.S. legal practice. A combination of common law legal history with
the straight-shooting American style has resulted in an approach to
issue analysis that is structurally different from other fields and
from the civil law systems common in other countries. Precedent
drives the interpretive process, providing the pillars upon which
an American lawyer builds a case. Understanding how to capture
relevant aspects of precedent, merge those aspects with precedent
from seemingly distinct cases, and apply the resulting formula to a
given fact pattern can be a harrowing experience for anyone
untrained in American legal thinking. This book bridges that gap
for aspiring lawyers in America as well as for foreign legal
practitioners. Fandl clearly and concisely demonstrates how to
research, analyze, and ultimately condense legal ideas into written
form in the American legal style. Suitable for undergraduates in
U.S. Criminal Justice programs and for LL.M. courses, as well as
for continuing education for professionals.
