本教程的编写宗旨是将学习英语与了解英美法律紧密结合，即在学习英语的同时，使学生系统地了解英美法律制度的概貌及民法、商法、民事程序和刑事程序等基本内容，在了解英美法律的同时，学习和操练英美法律涉及的常用词汇和表达方式，在巩固一般语言知识和运用能力的基础上，进一步扩展学生的语言知识，提高学生的语言应用能力，特别是涉及法律的语言知识和运用能力，力求在学完全书之后，学生能借助字典和工具书较为顺利地阅读英美法律条文及案例，并能对一般难度的法律文件进行英汉互译。根据这些原则，我们修正了原版中少数不妥和不够完善的地方，同时又根据美国法律近年来的一些变化，更新了部分课文的有关内容，尤其是增加了一些2l世纪的最新案例，以反映在信息技术突飞猛进、社会经济发展日新月异、人们的法律意识日益增强的大背景下，法院面临的新挑战和作出的新判决；另外，在练习方面也增加了一些趣味性较强的内容。
