You and the Law: Understanding the American Legal System

The student workbook is designed to accompany the HISTORY Rocks You and the Law course. In this course, students gain a practical understanding of the American legal system and how laws shape everyday life. Through case studies, class discussions, and real-world examples, students explore the foundations of civil and criminal law, distinguishing between torts and crimes, robbery and burglary, assault and battery, and other common legal distinctions. Students analyze the elements of crimes and causes of action, examine how the courts determine liability and punishment, and debate key issues of justice and ethics. Along the way, they will also learn about parties to a crime or contract, courtroom procedures, and the rights and responsibilities of citizens under the U.S. Constitution. In addition to understanding how the legal system functions, students will be introduced to career pathways in law, government, and public service.
