Featured Series

The LexisNexis Understanding Series, a collection of user-friendly student treatises on a variety of topics, includes more than 50 individual titles. The concise, yet comprehensive, analysis contained in each Understanding title provides a foundation for true understanding of the subject and facilitates more than mere rote learning.

Each Understanding title is designed to provide a solid grounding in the subject covered and to help the reader succeed in gaining a mastery of the subject. The appendix in Understanding Law School contains some very useful reference material, including a chapter on the Basic Concepts of American Jurisprudence from American Legal Systems: A Resource and Reference Guide, a unique book that provides an overview of American legal institutions and sources of law, and presents a guide to the interrelationships between and among those institutions and legal authorities.
