Legalines: Domestic Relations: Adaptable to 5th Edition of the Wadlington Casebook Feature

Legalines gives you authoritative, detailed briefs of every major case in your casebook. You get a clear explanation of facts, the issues, the court’s holding and reasoning, and any significant concurrences or dissents. Even more importantly, you get an authoritative explanation of the significance of each case, and how it relates to other cases in your casebook. And with Legalines’ detailed table of cases, you can quickly find any case or concept you’re looking for. But your professor expects you to know more than just the cases. That’s why Legalines gives you more than just case briefs. You get summaries of the black letter law as well. That’s crucial because some of the most important information in your casebooks isn’t in the cases at all… it’s the black letter principles you’re expected to glean from those cases. Legalines is the only study aid that gives you both case briefs and black letter review. With Legalines, you get everything you need to know – whether it’s in a case or not!

A History of American Law, Revised Edition (A Touchstone Book) Feature

A History of American Law has become a classic for students of law, American history and sociology across the country. In this brilliant and immensely readable book, Lawrence M. Friedman tells the whole fascinating story of American law from its beginnings in the colonies to the present day. By showing how close the life of the law is to the economic and political life of the country, he makes a complex subject understandable and engrossing. A History of American Law presents the achievements and failures of the American legal system in the context of America's commercial and working world, family practices and attitudes toward property, slavery, government, crime and justice.

Now Professor Friedman has completely revised and enlarged his landmark work, incorporating a great deal of new material. The book contains newly expanded notes, a bibliography and a bibliographical essay.

A nice balance between the conceptual and empirical, as well as the theoretical and practical, Judicial Politics is a uniquely accessible and interesting reader. Featuring carefully selected articles from Judicature, this reader delivers the journal's renowned diversity of opinion, accessibility of writing, and welcome blend of both scholarly and real-world perspectives.

Proven in the classroom, this new edition is useful for any course in judicial process, law and society, constitutional law, or judicial administration.
