The best way is a 3 part process: 1-- study a law school book on the theory of criminal justice and criminal law. This will expose you to certain terms and ideas that are not part of normal conversational English. 2-- read the stautory law, both in the sections of the Code that talk about the different crimes, and other Code sections that talk about procedure, process, and rights of suspects and defendants. In Georgia, this would mean you have to read both what's in Title 16 (crimes) and Title 17 (criminal procedure). 3-- read caselaw. For each law you read, look up some cases where courts have been asked to rule on what it means, how it is to be applied under different circumstances, and whether it is constitutional or not. Not all "law" is passed by the legislative branch of government. Much criminal law is made, or modified, by the judicial branch.
