I have tried hard to resist this temptation and to focus instead on rewriting and expanding the already existing chapters and adding a few selected subchapters. In doing so, I have updated and increased a large part of the book and have added a variety of new terms and concepts. Carrying out the express wish of my students, a complete German-English vocabulary list has been added to the already existing EnglishGerman one.  \nStudents as well as teachers who have been using the book in class should find the revised edition more readable and more focused. Naturally, my main audience remains law students. I hope that they will find this new edition both inspirational and user-friendly. Let me thank them for having provided me with suggestions and corrections over the past seven years.  \nVI Preface to the Second Edition  \nAfter just one year, the he","cbCaitrSDoQNeCDr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitrSDoQNeCDr","pdf",638874,"English","# Preface to the Third Edition\n# Preface to the Second Edition\n# Important Differentiations\n## Civil Law versus Common Law\n## Substantive Law versus Procedural Law\n## Private Law versus Public Law\n## Civil Law versus Criminal Law\n# The Adversarial System of Trial\n# The Actors in a Courtroom\n# US Court Structure\n## Federal System\n## Federal Courts and Supreme Court\n# Case Citation\n## Federal Case Citations\n## State Case Citations\n# Briefing Cases\n# US Legal Education\n## Law School Admission\n## JD Program and Financing\n# The US Legal Profession\n## Legal Ethics\n# The US Jury System\n## Grand Jury\n## Voir Dire\n# Case Flow\n## Pre-Trial to Post-Trial\n# Mutual Legal Assistance Letters\n# Alternative Dispute Resolution\n## Arbitration and Mediation\n# Selected Issues","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this book?\",\"answer\":\"To familiarize non-English-native lawyers and law students with legal texts and legal language, and to introduce core American legal terminology and concepts through contextual coverage of the US legal system.\"},{\"question\":\"Which topics are covered in the overview of the US legal system?\",\"answer\":\"The book covers court structure, legal education and teaching methods, case citation and briefing, legal professions, court and litigation procedures, jury matters, and selected civil and criminal law issues.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book present terminology after each chapter?\",\"answer\":\"Each chapter is followed by a list of related legal terms and concepts, with most terminology defined and explained in English rather than translated word-for-word into a German framework.\"}]","Tangl - English for Lawyers and Law Students - With a Short Introduction to the US Legal System | PDF",1790581808,76]
