Law 101: Everything You Need to Know About American Law

This is as exciting as a book about law can be. The author attempts to touch upon all major areas of the law, do it thoroughly and in a language that's understandable for non-professionals.

The book was easy to listen to and easy to understand. It provided a great level of knowledge for each topic; not so detailed that you would be lost and not so general that you can't find where to apply it. I find it a great resource when preparing for law school.

Despite best intentions and great knowledge on the author's part and fine narration and my own desire the book couldn't hold my interest. I suspect it was the subject matter, which began to seem so much a matter of opinion that maybe there is less to learn than I expected. Though it somehow works much of the time, I guess I'll eat the sausage for now and not watch how it's made. The law is a mashup, that's what I took away from 3 or 4 chapters. I may come back to it later when I have more patience.

This is an excellent overview of American law, with a particular emphasis on Constitutional Law/citizenship. I went to law school and am an attorney, so I was familiar with the topics; however, there were many subjects I haven't looked at since then, so this was a good review. I think it would be a good starter for 1Ls; this goes over everything in the first year curriculum, with the exception of writing and research.

Learned so much from this book.. narration was awesome, content was great. This book is worth the purchase money.

This book provides a great overview of how the American legal system works, and explanation for why it sometimes appears to work in counterproductive or unjust ways.

The audio version throws a lot at the listener, and this book really demands your attention. I would highly recommend the audio version as a first run-through of the book to be followed by a more thorough reading of the text. By the second time, the whole thing should click into place.

Excellent reading whether or not you are considering a legal career. Encompassing content very efficiently condensed into 16 hours of listening. Excellent performance.

For someone who has always been interested in the law but never studied it, this is a good primer.

Yes, some of the explanations require me to listen to specific spots to figure out what is being said. I also would like to look up specific cases that are referenced to study them in depth.

I thought the author did as good as any person could do with this type of text.

I was concerned with some of the reviews this book have. Something about the speaker being sleepy. But I do not listen to the books at the normal pace so his tone was okay with me! The story and the topics for a great very much was a good introduction to how laws taught and understood in u.s.
