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.

This book touches most laws and regulations which play a role in everyday life. Raises your awareness and could keep you from doing stupid things without gaining deeper information

I think this book was extremely helpful. It gives a comprehensive overview to law and is easy to understand. I found this book answered many of my simple questions, while not having to spend the money consulting an attorney. This book is money well spent!

It helps me out a lot in school and I would recommend it to anyone who is taking up criminal justice

For anyone wanting to learn the basiscs of law, I would recommend this book as a good place to start.

Not at all what I was expecting:
1) The book is as amateur as can be.
2) Each chapter focuses on random topics - definitely not the general overview of the subject of law that I was expecting.

I wish I could still return it.

This is a book that needs to be read by all that want to know about our laws.
