About This Book
The work examines the American judicial system, beginning with its English roots and constitutional separation of powers, then analyzes the judiciary's relations with executive and legislative branches, the force of precedent, and judicial lawmaking through interpretation of written and unwritten law. It surveys court organization at state and federal levels, interjurisdictional relations, and detailed procedures including jury trial, civil and criminal courts, probate, bankruptcy, appellate review, enforcement of judgments, and extrajudicial judicial functions. It concludes with discussion of judicial appointments, tenure, the legal profession, procedural delay, and public attitudes toward the courts.
