Everything You Need to Know about the American Legal System

Jay M. Feinman, Distinguished Professor, Rutgers University

As most experienced researchers know, looking up a term in Parry and Grant is far more efficient than trying to locate a concise definition on the web I wholeheartedly recommend it for any law library collection An essential source A worthwhile tool to have in any reference collection.
Marci Hoffman, University of California, Berkeley School of Law Library, International Journal of Legal Information

Review of Previous Edition An entertaining and informative introduction to the law.... For journalists, those interested in the law, and fans of television law dramas, this book should be required reading.
Library Journal
The best-selling first edition of Law 101 provided readers with a vividly written and indispensable portrait of our nations legal system. Now, in this revised edition, Jay M. Feinman offers an updated survey of American law, spiced with new anecdotes and cases (including Supreme Court cases through July 2005), and incorporating fresh material on topics ranging from the Presidents war powers, to intellectual property, standard form contracts, and eminent domain. Everyone who wants a better grasp of current legal issues from students contemplating law school, to journalists covering the legislature or the courts, to fans of Court TV will find here a wonderful source of information: a complete, clear, and colorful map of the American legal system.

Edited by Jay M. Feinman, Distinguished Professor of Law, Rutgers University

Highly recommended.
CHOICE

In a sense, the book is unique. Unlike a weighty tome, it is small, and handy.With a focus on the non-lawyer, it is simple, and direct-changing technical terms to comprehensible.

In addition to defining the 1,001 headwords, Feinman uses his expertise and insight to interpret clearly, succinctly, and intelligibly ten legal problems often encountered by ordinary people (e.g., what is power of attorney; how to understand a contract, how to make a living will). Summing Up: Highly recommended.
CHOICE
This comprehensive - but never condescending - guide to the language of the American legal system carefully defines and explains every term, and many entries have supplementary notes and a sample sentence.These notes include information about grammar associated with certain terms, as well as an etymology section useful in finding the linguistic origins of each term. American and British spellings are differentiated (license vs. licence), as are singular and plural forms (dictum vs. dicta). In addition, the book includes a number of quick mini-guides to legal troubleshooting that include information on understanding wills, trusts, and inheritance, granting someone a power of attorney, understanding contracts, what to do if youre sued, how to choose a lawyer, exploring law school, and enjoying cop and lawyer dramas.The backmatter contains an extensive list of legal aid organizations and a helpful bibliography of books about the law and lawyers for further reading.

this is an important book for the leaders of mid-tier law firms who have delayed their move into formally managing their knowledge assets, and as a refresher for those in larger firms who have knowledge efforts underway.
Law Society Journal
While there is significant interest in knowledge management as it applies to legal environments, there are very few books specifically focused on this topic. In Effective Knowledge Management for Law Firms, Matthew Parsons expertly fills this gap by drawing on his work with a leading commercial law firm, Mallesons Stephen Jaques. He examines how law firms can implement a knowledge strategy to support their business strategy, rather than getting beguiled by fad and technology.This book will be an invaluable resource for all those involved with the management and leadership of law firms and knowledge management initiatives.
