　　编者参考了大量的美国原版法学书籍，包括美国法学院教材及大量判例，力求实现教材内容的权威性和丰富性。　　本书引用了许多极具代表性的英文案例。英美法系是判例法系，无论是法官还是律师都特别注重对判例的研究，因此学习美国法不能绕过案例，通过研究案例更有利于掌握标准的法律英语，也更容易掌握美国法的精髓。本书选取了十几个经典案例，以期最大程度的展现美国法原貌。　　本书在每部分后面都附有相关的练习题，以期帮助读者检查自己学习掌握法律英语术语、基础美国法知识和逻辑推理知识的程度，查漏补缺。　　随着我国入世和世界经济一体化进程的不断加快，国际交流合作日益增多，涉外法务活动空前频繁，法律英语的重要性日益凸显。掌握专业英语已经成为现代法律人必备的职业素质。由于法律英语的特殊性，国内一直没有一个科学的考核指标衡量法律从业人员专业英语的掌握程度。法律英语证书(LEC)全国统一考试的推出为我国法律英语的教与学指明了方向，意义重大，影响深远。
