Aristotle Law School Preparatory Program and the Companion Workbooks Aristotle™, the law school preparatory program and legal guide for pre-law students, first year law students, English as a second language students, and lawyers is uniquely designed to address, in depth, the substance of the law that you will learn during your first year of law school, as well as practical matters of succeeding throughout law school and beyond. Developed out of a need for better, more efficient legal education, Aristotle™ implements hyperlinking technologies to convey carefully selected statements of law, pointed examples, and clarifying comments. Aristotle's™ non-linear pathways combine large quantities of knowledge in a manner that allows the learner to find answers to questions on-demand as the learner progresses through the material, rather than as an instructor or author predisposes. Consisting of more than two hundred pages of carefully chosen, content-rich material, Aristotle is a guaranteed advantage, regardless of whether it is used regularly for months or for a few hours on several occasions. The Companion Workbooks to the Aristotle Law School Preparatory Program provide extensive, in-depth language practice within the context of U.S. Law. The full Aristotle Law School Preparatory Program, which provides a synoptic yet well detailed view of the subjects studied in the first year of Law School, is presented in the CD. The seven sections of the Aristotle Law School Preparatory Program after the Instructions are Introduction, Tort Law, Property Law, Constitutional Law, Contract Law, Criminal Law, and Civil Procedure Law. Presently, six of these seven are accompanied by a workbook, which focuses on the study and practice of a particular grammar area. Teachers and students will find this innovative Legal English reference tool invaluable as they simultaneously explore language and law in their academic and professional journey. Depending on your program or area of focus, you may choose to use the complete series of workbooks or select individual ones to fit your needs.
