Within the course the hierarchy of English courts and the doctrine of precedent are analyzed. The structure of Parliament of the UK, parliamentary elections and legislative procedure are discussed. Training and practice of solicitors and barristers in England and Wales are analyzed in comparison with the Croatian system. American federalism and the origins of the US Constitution are explained. Within the unit on the executive branch in the USA powers of the President of the USA are discussed, as well as the impeachment procedure. The last unit deals with the functions and structure of the Supreme Court of the USA and analyzes one of the most famous precedents, MIranda v Arizona and its influence. Each unit is divided in two parts, whereby the first part provides an introduction to a topic, while other texts within the unit are extracts from the original legal texts so that the students can learn legal terms typical for particular topics and get acquainted with different text styles (parts of laws, constitutions, judgments etc.). Special emphasis is placed on legal terminology and communication skills. |
