The Introduction to American Legal System explains The Introduction to American Legal System explains how law works in the United States and how courts, judges, and lawmakers interact. It introduces students to the two major court systems—federal and state—and explains how lawyers decide which system applies to a legal problem. The chapter also describes the main sources of law: constitutions, statutes, administrative regulations, and common law. It explains how judges interpret laws, how courts follow earlier decisions through the principle of stare decisis, and how legal precedent can be mandatory or persuasive. Overall, the chapter builds a foundation for understanding how legal rules are created, interpreted, and applied in real-life cases.
