The Law of the United States offers an introduction and overview of
the American legal system. With an emphasis throughout on
up-to-date case law and current literature, it is an ideal first
point of entry for students and practitioners alike, and a starting
point for further independent research. Professor Hay provides a
concise and straightforward explanation of the law and legal
vocabulary, as well as an introduction to the different types of
law and legal techniques. He explains the role of Congress, the
Executive and the Courts, and clarifies the mechanisms behind the
branches of public and private law in the United States. He
introduces the reader to the complexities of federal and state law,
emphasizing that the many areas of public law and virtually all
areas of private law are the separate law of the 50 States, the
District of Columbia, and the (U.S.-dependent) Territories in which
common language, legal tradition, and culture have served to bring
about a basic legal unity. Several private law areas (contract law,
torts, family law, succession) receive detailed treatment, as do
criminal law and procedure. The book provides detailed references
to legislation, case law, and the literature, up-to-date through
early 2016. Four appendices present a detailed case study with
commentary to aid the civil law reader in understanding of the case
law system; the text of the U.S. Constitution (referred to in
several contexts throughout the book); a geographic map of the U.S.
federal court system; and information on the Legal Profession in
the United States.
