American Law: A Comparative Primer

Abstract

While American Law: A Comparative Primer is not intended to exhaustively cover all the practical and theoretical components of U.S. laws, it offers a concise and approachable introduction to American legal history, philosophy, and practice. As noted in the preface, American Law is “a comparative law book in which American law receives 60% of the attention.” Throughout the book, De Geest offers relevant comparisons and contrasts between U.S. jurisprudence and legal traditions in European countries, which help to solidify his descriptions of U.S. legal concepts.
