摘要

Law 101: Everything You Need to Know About American Law, Third Edition. By Jay M. Feinman. New York: Oxford University Press, 2010. Pp, xii, 363. ISBN: 978‐0‐19‐539513‐6. US$27.95.Law 101 is an engaging work that informs and challenges the reader to question and evaluate legal process and theory, judicial opinions and society itself. At the end, the reader is left with a deeper understanding of the law as a living organism developed through a fine balancing of competing needs and interests. The goal of the book is to demystify the law and prepare the reader to make better judgments about what the law should be. For those readers trained in the law, reading Law 101 is an afternoon spent silently reminiscing (and maybe gently chuckling) with old friends such as Marbury, Palsgraf, Griswold, Yoder and International Shoe and with those about whom we still remain in awe: Marshall, Brennan, Blackmun, Cardozo, Hand, O’Connor, Kennedy and so many others. For other readers, it is an opportunity to expand his or her knowledge of the law and to develop an understanding of the political, social and historical influences that make it complex and subtle. In the end, the readers of Law 101 will be better educated about the U.S. legal system and able to understand the nuances and forces behind such actions as the U.S. Supreme Court’s reduction of Exxon’s punitive damages for the Valdez oil spill or the inability of communities to prevent protests by Fred Phelps and members of the Westboro Baptist Church at military funerals.

Feinman)。纽约:牛津大学出版社,2010年。Pp,xii,363。ISBN:978-0--19-539513-6。 US $ 27.95。第101号法律是一部引人入胜的著作,旨在为读者提供知识和挑战,以质疑和评估法律程序和理论,司法观点以及社会本身。最后,让读者对法律有更深入的了解,因为它是通过在竞争需求和利益之间取得良好的平衡而发展起来的一种生物。这本书的目的是使法律神秘化,并准备让读者对法律的内容做出更好的判断。对于那些接受过法律培训的读者来说,阅读《 101法律》是一个下午,与诸如Marbury,Palsgraf,Griswold,Yoder和International Shoe之类的老朋友默默地回忆(也许轻轻地咯咯笑),与那些我们仍然敬畏的人们:Marshall ,布伦南,布莱克蒙,卡多佐,汉德,奥康纳,肯尼迪等许多人。对于其他读者来说,这是一个扩展他或她对法律的了解并加深对其使其复杂而微妙的政治,社会和历史影响的理解的机会。最终,将使101号法的读者接受有关美国法律制度的更好的教育,并能够理解诸如美国最高法院减少埃克森美孚对瓦尔迪兹石油泄漏的惩罚性赔偿或社区无力采取行动等背后的细微差别和力量。防止弗雷德·菲尔普斯(Fred Phelps)和韦斯特伯勒浸信会教堂(Westboro Baptist Church)的成员在军事葬礼上提出抗议。
