Introduction to Legal Method and Process, Cases and Materials introduces students to the synthesis of judicial opinion, resolution of statutory issues, and the role of the lawyer, the courts, and the legislature in conflict resolution. This innovative casebook on legal method and process differs from competing books in that it covers civil and criminal topics. It contains a section called Anatomy of a Legal Dispute that puts the following materials in proper perspective, as well as a glossary that has been fully augmented in the fifth edition. A useful teacher's manual accompanies the book.
