Course description
The course provides a general overview of the U.S. legal system. The course starts by introducing students to the legal education in the U.S. and the distinction between common and civil law jurisdictions. It continues by familiarizing students with the sources of U.S. law, both on the federal and state level, and taking a deeper dive into the U.S. Constitution as the foundation of the U.S. legal system, i.a., explaining the various methodological concepts of how to interpret the U.S. Constitution. The course will then address the U.S. court systems on both the federal and state levels with a focus on the U.S. Supreme Court and its jurisprudence. The course will also cover different material law topics from the U.S. legal system, incl. criminal and criminal procedure law as well as contract and tort law, in each case relying heavily on discussing relevant case law. The course is taught through a combination of lecture and in-class discussions and encourages active participation in order to acquire and practice legal terminology. In addition to the above topics the course covers select current issues from the U.S. legal systems, esp. notable trials, elections etc.Course Registration:
