Amazon.com description: Product Description: LAW / PHILIPPINES / UNITED STATES.
A practical resource guide for those interested in learning and understanding how the law works in the United States and the Philippines. Students and practitioners, judges and policy makers, critics and opinion makers, even the general reading public, will find this book handy and unpretentious.

The text includes 19 actual cases that relate with today's ongoing issues that covers the following: child endangerment, intellectual property, unlicensed contractors, drunk driving, self-representation, jury nullification, corporation contracts, search and seizure, prior conviction evidence, ineffective assistance of counsel, changes of circumstances, parental rights, and more.

The presentation of each case is written as two sections: 1) the author's narrative; and 2) the recorded opinion of the court. The narratives and opinions are formatted to be easily read, but distinctive enough to separate the author's explanations from the legal records. In the narrative, similarities and differences in law for both countries are pointed out by the authors.
