Overview of the American Legal System

I went to a T15 law school, graduated almost a decade ago, and have been practicing at a “top” firm for some time now … you have no idea how useful it would have been to have this lecture on day one of law school, rather than picked up piecemeal through Socratic method opacity.

This woman is so good, clear, and direct with her communication. Straightforward. What a pleasure to listen to her.

She's so knowledgeable and able to articulate her points seamlessly. The world needs more of you. Thank you so much Professor. I duff my 🎩

I’m 10 years old and I’m passionate about the law.

She is the best professor ever. Speaking clearly ❤

Honestly I came here out of curiosity but the amazing informative way this professor explained that introductory is so interesting to the level I think I wanna study low now🤯

A gifted teacher is always a blessing to mankind. Well done!

From South Australia in "little old Adelaide" & looking at a big move once international borders open. Currently studying a Bachelor of Social Science Majoring in Security & International Relations & providing borders open up to USA & I get a job offer law is one of those things I want to study now! After hearing this I am so inspired more than ever. Writing down notes on this for the next few months so I'm well accustomed with it all providing I can get the job I'm after in the USA (international politics but need visa etc but have the resources to do it). I must say this is the clearest lecture I've heard, even more so than some of the Australian universities. Simple & crystal clear audio. Even I'm starting to understand it! Just have to get outta this country first in 2022 or 2023 once borders reopened up but hey, I can wait :-)

I’m 15 and I’m very passionate about the law. This class was very well explained and it helped me a lot thank youu

I'm 42 and has grown to have a passion for the law.

I start an MLS program tomorrow. The ending to this hit the perfect notes that I needed to hear. Dive in, but don’t forget to breathe. I love it!

It was such a clear lecture that ı can comprehend American Law System in general ways. Greetings from Istanbul

Awesome. That jurisdiction map is already stuck in my head professor. U made it easy to remember. Thank u. :))

Omg Thank you for the pep talk!! I needed that! Such professional and talented teacher! I thoroughly enjoyed this! I'd sit in on more for sure!

Muchas gracias Profesora, excelente explicación, desde Honduras.

She is very professional. I like how smooth she develops this orientation, very well explained . When are going to download more similar videos?

I am a lawyer in Brazil and it is very interesting to see the difference between Civil Law and Common Law. In a first contact, it seems to me that Common Law allows a greater subjectivity of the Judge since certain parameters are not in the Law (code) but in custom so I find it interesting the system that has been developed here in Brazil in which the law (code) is the first parameter and the jurisprudence serves to standardize the understanding of the law (code) and not to create rights as the Common Law does.

I appreciate the point she makes about not writing things down. I wish I had listened more and wrote less when I was in College and Law School...

@19:55 you can really see here how she’s actively trying to avoid using legal jargon. Very informational for orientation!!

I'm an Australian who can't believe we still don't have a Bill of Rights. Amy tips on how out country might achieve this?
