Fairly valuable for getting the big picture

As a first year law student, and with finals quickly approaching, I was desperate for a book that would help me make sense of it all. I found this book to be pretty helpful. It made me take a step back from what I was studying to get a good look at the overall picture, which is really important. Finals are still about two weeks away, but I'm feeling more confident now. Don't get me wrong... this book is in now way a substitute for test preparation, but it does help you understand why somethings are the way they are.

It is really fundamental

This book has helped lawyers from other countries to understand in a better and general way the American legal system. It has an overview of areas such as criminal law, torts, contracts, commercial law, immigration, labor, among others. I recommend this book as an introduction to the legal system for non lawyers or for foreign lawyers.
