Review
"The text provides a comprehensive introduction to--and survey of--the study of courts, judges, and the American legal process. Written by several widely respected scholars in the field, the text provides extensive coverage of how courts and judges operate and how they relate to the broader society of which they are a part. Accessible even to those students who are new to the study of courts and law while also providing a nuanced and sophisticated view of the state of research in the field, the text is regarded as a leader in the field and as a useful addition to the library of the novice and the expert alike."--John Forren
"I have been assigning this text for more than 10 years. It is an outstanding textbook to introduce students to the judicial process."--Judithanne Scourfield McLauchlan
"This text provides a terrific overview of the legal system - which is my main reason for using it. I also like the Suggested Resources..." --Rebecca Keeler
"I would describe it as a very straightforward approach to providing thorough descriptions to many of the main and important topics of the U.S. legal system. It goes into great depth for important topics and it also covers a wide variety of topics. It's physical size is also nice in that it is not a humongous sized textbook, rather it is easy to use and navigate because the layout of the chapters are easy to understand and nicely divided..."--Justin Wedeking
"I like the book. I like the length and the writing style. It focuses on important information and provides a good source of information on basic structure and procedure. The book is readable, the chapters fairly short and students tell me they like the book and find it a helpful companion to lectures..."--Kim Seckler
"I have been using this text for 20 years. I most like, and use, the chapters that examine state and federal courts, judges, the groups in the judicial process, and the procedures and prior to, during, and after a trial. These chapters are clearly written and lay out the facts in a well-organized, accessible manner..."--Diane Hartmus
"I would say that it is a thoughtful and comprehensive introduction to the judicial institutions, norms, and practices of the United States, with enough detail to carry an undergraduate course or to set up expanded discussions of selected topics."--Luke Plotica
"I would describe this book as a political perspective on the American court system. It encourages readers to think about courts as government organizations and approach their study as one would other political institutions."--Robert Norris
"This book is a well-written, thorough coverage of the judicial process in the United States. It is thorough, without being pedantic. If one is looking to answer a question about how the judicial process should work in the United States, the answer is either in this book or provides the guide to where one should look. In addition to being readable, the book provides references to the scholarly literature that students need to begin a more in-depth analysis of topics in which they are interested."--Joseph Stewart
