Translation
1. 根据美国宪法,联邦政府分为⾏政、⽴法和司法三⼤部门,每个部门都被认为是独⽴的,并且能够相互制衡。
2. 通常有三类案件可以到达最⾼法院,即:牵涉到诉讼当事⼈分属不同的州的案件,牵涉到解释联邦法案的案件和解释美国宪法的案件。3. ⼤律师事务所的律师平均收⼊最⾼;他们常常代理那些最有钱且最有社会地位的当事⼈;⽽且同⾼层次的法官和政府官员有着密切的联系。个⼈执业者和⼩律师事务所的律师收⼊最低,代理那些既没钱⼜没社会地位的当事⼈,⽽且主要同最低级别的法院和⾏政机构打交道。4. 州⽴⼤学的法学院倾向于集中在⼀些传统的法律课程上:契约、侵权⾏为、宪法、诉讼程序、财产、遗嘱、信托与遗产、公司、合伙、代理、国际法、海商法、劳动法、⾏政法;私⽴法学院由于规模略⼩且师⽣⼈数⽐例⼀般较⼤,故有条件开设品种更多的课程,在新的、开拓中的领域尤其如此。这些私⽴法学院的课程⽬录中都列有诸如精神病学与法学、法学与社会学、城市法、贫困法、环境法、城市财政、⼟地规划等⽅⾯的课程或研讨班。5. 英美法系的法官⽐起他们⼤陆法系的同⾏们来威信更⾼,其部分原因在于⼈们⼀般都觉得只有较优秀的律师才能当得上法官。尽管任命和遴选有其政治背景,这⼀结论恐怕还是⼤致符合实际情况的。Text B
