Hi there! I noticed a mistake at 6:17. The judge says "guilty", however parties are not proven "guilty" or "not guilty" in civil cases, only in criminal. In civil cases, the defendant can only be "liable" or "not liable".

This dude talk hella fast.. can't even take no notes😂

Thanks Craig! I've learned more about government and politics in a couple months of your show than 4 years of high school, 4 years of college and 4 years of military pol/mil training

At first, I wasn't sure I liked Craig Benzine as host of this series of Crash Course, but now I am sure that he is perfect. Keep that eagle in its place Craig!!!

Eagle punches 3:25 and 7:35; one of these times that Eagle is going to punch back

fact: craig doesnt need to have a reason to punch the eagle.

Craig, I'll be honest. I didn't think anyone could fill the CC void of John Green. As a nerdfighter and an addict of these kinds of videos, I decided to give your series a shot and Sir, GOOD WORK :) It's great to see you get comfortable in front of the camera and the eagle punches crack me up. Often. Cheers :)

This guy helped me pass my American government class! Thanks a million. Because I hardly understand the book😭

We have a kind of common law in The Netherlands, too. It's called "jurisprudentie" here. It's basically the same thing. All decisions made by courts in the past which can be used to determine future decisions.

So did this guy tease John Green's Turtles All The Way Down in 2015, two years before it was released?

2:24 Craig predicted John’s book more than 2 years ago. Nice one

amazing video explained everything I needed! This was my first day in bus law and this guy...!! If you don't understand from him do more research cuz this guy here summarized EVERYTHING!

This is easily my favorite CC--and the other ones are pretty good, too!

Is that a mention of turtles all the way down in 2015? Nice prediction Craig!

At [4:52]: You don't just get to argue there was an error below. You also have to show that had the lower court not erred, there's a substantial likelihood the outcome of the case could change to your benefit. If fixing the error won't change the outcome, then it's harmless error and allowed to stand.

This is very informative. The use of the animations made it all the better. Thank you. 🤝

This was very interesting but god does he speak fast (plus he doesn't articulate so much). I'll have to watch this video a few time to really get it

Turtles all the way down is a fairly common phrase meaning infinite regression. Though it's no coincidence for John to use the expression.

i like the bit when he punches the eagle... every time :D

There really just needs to be a crash course law show

i’m literally never going to forget that elastic pants analogy thankyou

Thank you for this video on the court system and how it plays a very important role in our lives the mainly civil court its role if i ever need to file a claim and the others what my next step would be if i loss my case in court appeal. Law writing is interpreted so when we go to read it we are able to understand it .

We have common law in france too, we call it "Jurisprudence" ! (I am aware it's an english term too, but it doesn't seem to mean the same in both languages). It doesn't act as actual laws, but they do play a very important role in trials !

Thank you! This helps me study for my business law exam.

My teacher showed us the crash course series and now everyone in my class is hooked. Dang your videos are great, CC!

Craig Benzine together with Hank Green is my favorite.

i think this guy has the most entertaining crash courses

At 6:10 You wouldn't use the term guilty in civil cases. The defendant can only be held liable for damages. Other than that, great video!

Hey these are actually interesting and useful videos!

"Turtles all the way down" cracked me up

You guys are awesome. Thank You.

Very helpful, very funny. Thanks folks!

Awesome, thanks.

A very informative and entertaining video.

Love the subtle references to my all time favorite novel "1984" by my favorite author "George Orwell" and my all time favorite TV show " Game of Thrones". I guess being a poli sci. major isn't as big a coincidence as I thought 😁

This is very good information.

Brilliant video.

Showed this video to my Law class. The video was very informative. However, the presenter spoke way too fast.

So I just subscribed to crash course..... Then KZread crashed.

Finally some more abstract stuff.

Omg that Turtles All the Way Down hint!

Craig makes even boring topics at least smirk-worthy.

Mortimer Zabi Technically, tax "laws" arent laws... they are regulations. This is because they are written by an administrative agency in the EXECUTIVE branch. Only the legislative branch (for federal, Congress) can pass laws but when Congress in a law gives that power to the executive, they write "rules and regulations" Although to be fair there are tax laws written by congress but they are very broad. However the vast majority of the tax system is composed of the regulations written by the IRS. They do have the "power of law" though, presuming they dont contradict with anything Congress has specifically written so its not uncommon to colloquially refer to them as "laws"

@MortimerZabi

Actually my point was that the Internal Revenue Code by itself is hard to interpret PRECISELY because it is broad and thus you NEED to go into jurisprudence and administrative regulations, especially when it comes to ticklish topics like the proper situs of taxation for interstate transactions, how to substantiate taxable deductions, etc. I did not mean to go into a discussion of administrative tax regulations since they can be very, very complicated and are better understood by accountants, not lawyers. Anyhow, not once did I contradict the video in any way. The video never discussed the concept of quasi-legislative and quasi-judicial powers in-depth and thus I never intended to venture into those topics since they're best discussed in a constitutional law course and not a general politics and governance course.

I see your administrative tax regulations and raise you with the complexity of EU law :D Mortimer Zabi Ddub1083 P.S. Tax law could be categorized as "law" and not only as regulations, as you suggested. :) It really depends on the jurisdiction, for example in the continental civil traditions you have taxation legislation, perscribed not only by agencies (with delegated regulatory/legislative powers) but also through the legislator itself. You also have tax laws stemming from EU law (e.g. Parents-Subsidiary Directive; Interests and Royalties directive; CCCTB), which are later being transposed within the national legal orders of the Member States again through the legislator. Moreover you could have national taxation laws stemming from the incorporation of bilateral double taxation treaties.

I don't find the first episode of the series, help me out, please

That "turtles all the way down" joke caught me completely by surprise.

I love this guy.

The photo of Lepke made my day!

I dont care what people say, I love Craig's jokes!

Okay, that eagle punch was actually funny. Credit where it's due.

I think, maybe, I learned something from this video. It's hard to say, it went by so fast!

Someone please explain the difference between common law and statutory law (Australia)?

We don't need no stinkin' reasons to punch eagles!

I have a final in 15 minutes and this is all the studying I have done

Thanks to crash course, I won't be failing my test today 😂🙌🏽

I was wondering why Marbury v. Madison did not get a passing mention, then realized that it was already discussed in Crash Course US History.

can yall make a video just defining legislators, senators, statutes, and all these terms?

Thanks for making these videos! I cannot understand all of these legal terms from reading my textbook---it's so confusing!

I'm an attorney and I'm a big fan of this video. Its general explanation of fed courts in America is excellent. However, when the speaker states "who decides what in a case doesn't matter," that is a woefully misguided opinion. It would take me an hour, several law review articles (i.e., legal scholarship in the form of academic publications), and a couple of books to explain why bench vs. jury trials--or even binding arbitrations (since fed courts are setting a precedent of favoring resolving private disputes via contractually binding arbitration)--while still frightening in practice due to unpredictability, are nevertheless starkly different, the differences of which are highly consequential in any given case.

The thought bubble has the judge saying guilty when discussing a civil case. Bad thought bubble! Bad! Generally, we don't speak of civil cases in terms of guilt or innocence, but in terms of liability. It may seem a pedantic point, but lawyers get worked up about these kinds of things.

Every time that eagle gets punched... I admit it. I chuckle...

I wish they did timestamps for all the government videos
