You'll learn the most a clever, well-resourced team can push the existing rules in practice to hold governments accountable. In my unexpert opinion a nonlayer can most efficiently get an impression of how an area of law sort of works by reading decisions from lower-court judges who dispense justice assembly-line style. When you're reading a Supreme Court decision or a law it's incredibly easy to miss a procudure that makes any remedy inpractical. For example, you might read through a whole process for deciding the merits of a complex argument a prisoner's civil rights were violated. But you'd be missing that prisoner's lawyers can only make an argument if that prisoner, without a lawyer, wrote the exact right words on a complaint form and handed it to a warden within (for example) two weeks of their rights being violated. Get used to this search engine. And when you read about a case in the news, look it up. This (or a related resource) is usually how the reporter got their primary sources. https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/ |
