DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn each of the first three editions of the bestselling Law 101, Jay Feinman gave readers an upbeat and vivid examination of the American legal system. Since the third edition was published in 2010, much has happened: several key Supreme Court cases have been decided, we've seen sensational criminal trials, and the legal system has had to account for the latest developments in Internet law. This fully updated fourth edition of Law 101 accounts for all this and more, as Feinman once again provides a clear introduction to American law. The book covers all the main subjects taught in the first year of law school, and discusses every facet of the American legal tradition, including constitutional law, the litigation process, and criminal, property, and contracts law. To accomplish this, Feinman brings in the most noteworthy, infamous, and often outrageous examples and cases. We learn about the case involving scalding coffee that cost McDonald's half a million dollars, the murder trial in Victorian London that gave us the legal definition of insanity, and the epochal decision of Marbury vs. Madison that gave the Supreme Court the power to declare state and federal law unconstitutional. A key to learning about the law is learning legal vocabulary, and Feinman helps by clarifying terms like "due process" and "equal protection," as well as by drawing distinctions between terms like "murder" and "manslaughter." Above all, though, is that Feinman reveals to readers of all kinds that despite its complexities and quirks, the law is can be understood by everyone. Perfect for students contemplating law school, journalists covering legislature, or even casual fans of "court-television" shows, Law 101 is a clear and accessible introduction to the American legal system. New to this edition: Featured analysis of: -the Obamacare case -Citizens United -the DOMA decision -the Trayvon Martin case As well as recent legal developments pertaining to: -online contracting -mortgages -police investigations -criminal sentencing

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdrian Briggs' invaluable introduction to the study of the conflict of laws provides a survey and analysis of the rules of private international law as they apply in England. The volume covers general principles, jurisdiction, and the effect of foreign judgments; choice of law for contractual and non-contractual obligations, the private international law of property, of persons, and of corporations. It does so in a manner which explains and illuminates the principles which underpin the subject in a clear and coherent fashion, as the wealth of literature, case law, and legislation often obscures the architecture of the subject and unnecessarily complicates study. This new edition organizes its material in light of European legislation on private international law, reflecting the shift towards understanding private international law as European law with a common law background instead of common law with European legislative influences. The author's approach is focused on the law and avoids the more abstract theory; as the theory of the conflict of laws is actually to be found in and by applying the legislation and jurisprudence to the cases and issues which arise in private international litigation and legal advice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKView or download the 2018 Supplement to this book here. The Sixth Edition of American Conflicts Law: Cases and Materials continues the organizational pattern of the Fifth Edition, along with the problem approach adopted there. However, in Chapters 8, dealing with the Erie doctrine, and Chapter 10, dealing with the topic of personal jurisdiction, there have been extensive updates and additions. Chapter 8 has been compressed by inclusion of an extensive note following the Supreme Court's decision in Burlington Northern Railroad v. Woods, 480 U.S. 1 (1987). The note traces developments after Burlington Northern and before the Supreme Court's latest decision in Shady Grove Orthopedic Associates v. Allstate Insurance Co., 518 U.S. 415 (2010). The note replaces a number of cases that were formerly reprinted in the casebook and eliminates the tedium of covering those cases in their entirety. Together with problems and additional note material following the Shady Grove case, the new materials provide a comprehensive but eminently teachable package for the topic. In Chapter 10, four principal cases have been added to update the Supreme Court's continuing activity in the personal jurisdiction area. Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations, S.A. v. Brown, 564 U.S. ___, 131 S. Ct. 2846 (2011) and Daimler AG v. Bauman, 571 U.S. ___, 134 S. Ct. 746 (2013) are the Court's latest decisions in the area of "general jurisdiction." They have been added to the chapter with appropriate note material. In the area of "specific jurisdiction," the Court's recent decisions in McIntyre Machinery, Ltd. v. Nicastro, 564 U.S. ___, 131 S. Ct. 2780 (2011) and Walden v. Fiore, 571 U.S. ___, 134 S. Ct. 1115 (2014), have been added, also with appropriate note material. Throughout the casebook, the note material has been updated with citations to and discussions of the latest decisions in each topic area covered. A comprehensive Teacher's Manual contains summaries of the main cases, suggestions about alternative course coverage, and the authors' ideas about coverage of the cases, materials, and problems also is available.
