Synopsis
The Fifth Edition of An Introduction to the American Legal System provides both historical context and thoroughly up-to-date coverage of all aspects of American law and the legal system.

- A new chapter on appellate procedure exhibits the role of judicial review in civil, criminal and administrative contexts.
