(VINE VOICE)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
In this 300-page paperback you can find an overview of major areas of the law, from driving infractions to estate planning to the structure and rules of CA legal system. Most importantly, the book is written in a very simple and easy to undrestand language and has references to specific sections of the law if you want to go into details on your own.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice overview of California law, September 12, 2011
By 
Lisa Hall (Studio City, California) - See all my reviews
While I havent read all of this book, just sections, its great to have a reference book like this lying around. It covers main legal topic and gives links to other relevant books if I want to explore topics in more detail!

The own downside is that it's a bit expensive for a reference book!
