Using a case-centered approach, the materials in this book have two goals: introduce key basic concepts in the U.S. legal system and prepare students for the manner of learning in a U.S. law school classroom. The cases are chosen to illustrate unique features of the U.S. legal system, teach about procedural devices that will be mentioned in cases that students read for other classes, and provide opportunities for discussion of larger social or legal issues in the United States, if desired.
