出版者言
法律出版社于2004年获牛津大学出版社授权，在中国影印出版了《推开美国法律之门》的第1版。作者用清晰简明的语言，全面介绍了美国法律体系的框架以及基本原则：宪法、侵权、合同法、财产法、刑法、诉讼法等。作者使用问句作为每一章节的标题，为读者搭建各法律部门的基本哲学框架，并介绍了具有划时代意义的相关判例，读来或豁然开朗，或会心一笑，或掩卷沉思。
法律出版社通过与牛津大学出版社联系，获得2006年第2版的英文影印出版权。与第1版相比，第2版增加了最高法院的判例，并对宪法、合同法、知识产权法等章节内容进行了相应增补，以适应美国法律体系的不断变化。
本书第2版具有以下鲜明特色：
(1)作为一部权威的美国法律体系概论，作者行文洗炼有力、用语简约、脉络清楚。掌握此书的基础内容后再看英美法律类书刊，读者不会再觉得晦涩难啃。
(2)对中国读者而言，本书还是一部优秀的法律英语教材，读者在思考美国法律体系的同时也学习和应用了法律英语。
(3)随着美国法律制度框架的修订，本书为中国读者打碎交流之屏障，呈现最新知识体系。
由于这些特色，本书获得无数美国读者首肯，相信第2版英文影印本的出版也会赢得中国读者青睐。
