I enjoyed this course and it helped me to understand the basic parts of American Law. My only suggestion is to provide even more cases as examples to demonstrate the doctrines and statutes. Thank you.

Really interesting introduction to American law. I like that controversial issues are brought up to provoke thinking about the pros and cons of the American legal system.

Informative and challenging without drowning a person in legal minutiae. This material should be required for high school graduation in the U.S. Very well done.

A good introduction for very beginners, however, you get to learn more from the course if you have been previously exposed to other systems of law. Recommended.
