Legal Literacy fulfils this aim by providing a foundational understanding of key concepts such as legal personhood, jurisdiction, and precedent, and by introducing students to legal research and writing skills. Examples of cases, statutes, and other legal materials support these concepts. While Legal Literacy is an introductory text, it also challenges students to consider critically the system they are studying. Touching on significant socio-legal issues such as access to justice, legal jargon, and plain language, Zariski critiques common legal traditions and practices, and analyses what it means ?to think like a lawyer.? As such, the text provides a sound basis for those who wish to pursue further studies in law or legal studies as well as those seeking a better understanding of how the legal field relates to the society that it serves. 410 0$aOpen paths to enriched learning. 606 $aLaw$zCanada$vTextbooks 606 $aLaw 608 $bElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw 615 0$aLaw. 676 $a349.71 700 $aZariski$b Archie$0865555 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910132324203321 996 $aLegal literacy$91931754 997 $aUNINA
