Nice video. I just wish there was some talk about jury, grand jury. But overall really good video.

Thanks, James! And those are also good terms to know, maybe we can work that into a future video.

I have a question. When law students are studying in law school are the defenitions of inportant words in the casebook or are they in another type of book like a legal dictionary? I have another question. If someone who is currently not a law school student were to borrow a casebook on Criminal Law and a casebook on Tort Law from a public library or a university law library and were to read them without having a legal dictionary next to them to look up the defenitions of words they do not know would the person be able to understand what it says in those or in the casebooks about Criminal Law and Tort Law? Would the person be able to understand what they were reading? Disclaimer: This is not legal advice of any kind whatsoever, is not intended to be, was not intended to be, and is not to be interpreted as such and shall not be interpreted as such. I am not a lawyer. I have never and would never claim to be one. Everything that is writen here is and are legitimante questions.

Hi David! Great question. Some students get Blacks Law Dictionary (but you can also probably use google to find definitions for words you don't understand!). For some of the more modern cases, a person without a law degree would probably be able to understand several of the main points (but may not understand things like procedural history, the importance of the holding or how broad/narrow it is). Some of the older cases that make it into casebooks are harder to read, even for law students with law dictionaries!
