Summary: "A Good Way to Start Learning About Law"
This is one of the "how-to" books that are fun to read even if you are not faced with a situation which requires it. This well-written book covers a wide range of legal topics that an American citizen may face one of these days. Much emphasis is placed on things like marital problems, parenting problems, employment issues, consumer and credit problems, etc. Needless to say it does NOT replace a good lawyer when the case is complex, but the author actually encourages you to "take the law into your own hand" and shows you how you can solve a number of everyday legal difficulties without hiring a lawyer.
This book cannot claim to be a complete guide to being your own lawyer or recognizing your legal rights or duties, but I found it a terrific first-step book to read about our great legal system.
