Table of ContentsReviews'This is a fabulous book and a real primer : it primes the reader into thinking in the right way about American law. Students, scholars and practitioners trained in a foreign legal system will find this book an extremely useful resource. It gives both an inside and an outside perspective on American law and it is a great read even for those who are already familiar with it. The book does so much more than introducing the American legal system and comparing it to foreign systems: it explains why and it does so in such an interesting way that makes the book both a deep read and a very pleasant one.' -- Giuseppe Dari-Mattiacci, Columbia Law School, US 'This is a wonderful comparative introduction to American law, which will be of great interest to both foreign students and American lawyers alike. Its deep engagement with comparative materials helps situate our legal system in a broader perspective. De Geest synthesizes all the essentials in an easy-to-read text. Highly recommended!' -- Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago, US 'I love the book. I think it is a winner.
