I need information about where our legal system originated from
During week 2, the assignment is "Discuss the development of the court system; Special Federal Courts, Federal District Courts, Federal Courts of Appeal, United States Supreme Courts, State Courts, Inferior Courts, Courts of Original General Jurisdiction, and Appellate Courts. Explain when each court system was developed, why it was developed, and what each specified section of the court system does".
Answer
Most introductory legal research textbooks will discuss the origins of our legal system in the first few chapters of the text. If this type of resource is not available, consult the following:
- Gale Virtual Reference Library is a database of full-text reference books, including encyclopedias, handbooks, and dictionaries.
- Credo Reference is another database containing full-text reference books.
Consider using the following keywords in your search:
"U.S. Law"
"U.S. Legal System"
"American Law"
"American Legal System"
"Federal Courts"
"U.S. Courts"
"State Courts"
Consult our book collection, eBooks and Academic eBooks via EBSCO for books that discuss the history of the American legal system. Again, the best results will be achieved by using keywords to search the database.
