The fourth edition of The Study of Law: A Critical Thinking Approach provides a comprehensive and intelligent overview of the foundational concepts essential for an introductory law course. Utilizing a rigorous critical thinking methodology, this text encourages students to engage deeply with legal materials through the use of hypotheticals, practical examples, and thought-provoking questions. The content is systematically organized into two primary sections to facilitate a clear understanding of the American legal landscape.

Part I: Introduction to the Legal System introduces students to the various sources and classifications of law, the hierarchical structure of the court system, and an essential overview of the litigation process. Part II: Basic Legal Concepts focuses on the analytical skills required to interpret the law, followed by detailed explorations of substantive legal topics.

  • Includes edited cases in every chapter to provide hands-on experience in reading and interpreting legal precedents.
  • Strong pedagogy reinforces well-written text presented in an accessible and well-organized format.
  • Features updated coverage on contemporary legal issues, including the Affordable Care Act, trademark disputes involving the Washington Redskins, and same-sex marriage.
  • Explores modern procedural and criminal law developments such as e-filing, e-discovery, unauthorized access to computer data, and warrantless searches of cell phones.
