| 在美国法律教育界与律师实务界,“美国法精要”(Nutshell Series)是颇具特色的一套丛书。这套书最突出的特点当推它们的简捷明快、深入浅出。众多法学院的学生将这套书作为课外的辅助教材,由此掌握美国各主要部门的精义;执业律师也经常借助这套书。以迅速了解自己尚未熟习的某些部门法,或者温习过去曾经学过的某些课程。 相信这套丛书也能赢得国内读者的欢迎。无论是法律专业的本科生、研究生,还是执业律师或其他人士,都能从这套丛书中获得有关美国法律的大量知识,对自己的学习和工作有所助益。此外,通过阅读原汁原味的英文来学习美国法律也应能提高读者的法律英语水平,促进与美国同行的直接对话与交流。 ——许传玺 美国哈弗大学法博士(J.D.) 耶鲁大学社会文化人类学博士 现任中国政法大学中美法学院院长、教授、博士生导师 |
