The legal system in America is the basis of freedom as we know it
today. The system is based, ultimately, on the common law of England,
but it has grown, developed, and changed over the years.
American law has been a critical factor in American life since colonial
the law.
Through history, the legal system has been intimately involved with
every major issue in American life: race relations, the economy, the
family, crime, and issues of equality and justice.
The true strength of the American legal system lies in its ability to
adapt to new and difficult issues.
