Most of us know very little about the law. We pick up bits of information from television and newspaper accounts of current legal battles, and from bestselling novels and popular movies. But these pieces do not give us an accurate or complete picture.

In Law 101, Jay M. Feinman offers a delightfully clear introduction to law, covering the main subjects found in the first year of law school and giving us a basic understanding of the American legal tradition. Readers are introduced to every aspect of the legal system, from constitutional law and

the litigation process to tort law, contract law, property law, and criminal law. Feinman illuminates each discussion with many intriguing, outrageous, and infamous cases, from the scalding coffee case that cost McDonald's half a million dollars, to the sensational murder trial in Victorian London

that led to the legal definition of insanity, to the epochal decision in Marbury v. Madison that gave the Supreme Court the power to declare state and federal laws unconstitutional. He broadens the reader's legal vocabulary, clarifying the meaning of everything from "due process" and "equal

protection" in constitutional law, to the distinction between "murder" and "manslaughter" in criminal law. Perhaps most important, we learn that law is voluminous and complex, but accessible to everyone.

Anyone who enjoys Court TV will find this book irresistible. Everyone who wants a better grasp of current legal issues, from students contemplating law school to journalists covering the legislature or the courts, will find here a wonderful source of information--a complete, clear, and colorful

map of the American legal system.

读后感

这本书是我大学某门课的教材，一开始很抵触，因为是全英文的，但是细细读来，发现写的真的很不错，如果能够克服语言障碍，读完这本书，对于理解美国法律，很有帮助  

相比国内的其它法律英语教材，本书无比优越！短短3百多页，就可以让我们对美国法律有个大概的了解。而且作者语言地道，引用案例丰富，处处引人思考！ 不足的是，翻译的单词不准确，翻译也很生硬！给出注释单词的英文解释更好！
