 AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM Spring 2015   David W. Neubauer Department of Political Science                                             E-mail dneubaue@bellsouth.net University of New Orleans   REQUIREMENTS Lecture: This course examines a few topics that illustrate major differences between the common law legal system used in the United States and the civilian legal systems found in Europe.  During class Professor Neubauer will lecture but prefers discussion.  Thus students are encouraged to ask questions on specific lectures or reading points which you feel need clarification. Do not hesitate to ask questions because the discussion could clarify important points for all students.   Reading: All the readings are from David Neubauer and Stephen Meinhold (2013) Judicial Process: Law, Courts, and Politics in the United States, 6th edition.  Belmont: Wadsworth.  Every effort will be made to provide the students with these readings.  The website for the previous edition of this book can be found at http://people.uncw.edu/meinholds/lawcourtsandpolitics/  The web site contains PowerPoints including photographs, many of which were taken by Professor Neubauer.   Examination: There will be an essay final examination which covers both the lectures and reading materials. Web sites of interest   United StatesSupreme Court http://www.supremecourtus.gov   U.S.Courts: The Federal Judiciary  http://www.uscourts.gov/courtlinks/   Findlaw is an excellent place to find American law.  http://www.findlaw.com/   Library of Congress    http://www.loc.gov/index.html Assignments Session 1         Law, Courts, and Politics in the United States                         Neubauer and Meinhold Judicial Process Chapter 1 (read for a general sense)   Session 2         Federal and State Courts                         Neubauer and Meinhold Judicial Process Chapter 3 pp. 48-65                         Neubauer and Meinhold Judicial Process Chapter 4 pp. 83-92; 104-109   Session 3         Lawyers and Legal Representation                         Neubauer and Meinhold Judicial Process Chapter 5 pp.117-132; 143-144   Session 4         Trials and Juries                         Neubauer and Meinhold Judicial Process Chapter 12, pp. 350-370   Session 5         Trials and Juries (continued) Neubauer and Meinhold Judicial Process Chapter 12, pp. 371-end   Session 6         U.S. Supreme Court: The Cases and the Justices                                 Neubauer and Meinhold Judicial Process Chapter 14 (read for a general sense)                         Neubauer and Meinhold Judicial Process  pp. 446-458.   Session 7         U.S. Supreme Court: Decisions and Their Impacts                         Neubauer and Meinhold Judicial Process  pp. 458-end.   Session 8                                 FINAL EXAMINATION   Session 9         Individual meetings with students over course grades
