Description
This book is about the American judicial process and how it works. It is written by two lawyers and it is meant to be a supplement to texts on judicial processes. It is divided into five sections, each of which covers a different area of the judicial process. The first section covers the judicial process in personal injury cases. The second section covers the judicial process in divorce cases. The third section covers the judicial process in employment relations cases. The fourth section covers the judicial process in real estate cases. The fifth and final section covers the judicial process in criminal justice cases. Each section covers a different area of the judicial process and each section has interviews with lawyers from that area of the judicial process.
An ideal supplement to texts on judicial processes, Real Law Stories: Inside the American Judicial Process is the only undergraduate text dedicated to the presentation of "real-world" interviews with lawyers, judges, and police officers. Each law professional describes his or her job across a range of legal activities and offers insights into the legal process in the United States. Rather than focusing on exceptional or famous cases, authors Richard A. Brisbin Jr., and John C. Kilwein examine the routine, day-to-day functions of lawyers, courts, and the law in personal injury, divorce, employment relations, real estate, and commercial practice; criminal justice; and the appellate process. This "real-world" approach helps students to grasp how law operates in the everyday world while encouraging them to look beyond the mass media's negative portrayals of lawyers, police, and litigants. In order to teach students how to conduct interviews, the authors provide succinct explanations of the judicial process, define legal terms, and provide references for further study.
