About this title

Review:

"It has a good comprehensive overview of the American legal system. It appears very extensively researched. And has extensive links for students who wish to do follow-up research." "[JUDICIAL PROCESS features] consistent focus on linkage between law and politics; comprehensive and accurate content; accessible approach for undergraduates (that is, not too theoretical but yet theoretical enough to allow for and promote abstract and critical thinking by readers)." "The emphasis on the winnowing process from grievance to settlement and from crime to sentencing is really useful. It helps the instructor put courts into the entire conflict-resolution process. . . . There is just the right combination of facts and ideas on the one hand and challenging issues facing courts on the other." "The text is very readable, making it accessible to a very broad range of student capabilities. The coverage of topics is outstanding, leaving very little room for complaint that some important matter is not dealt with. Finally, the additional materials scattered throughout the text make it a far more interesting and informative text than would be the case were it to simply provide information about the various topics covered."
