| 1. Legal Research: How to Find & Understand the Law |

By: Stephen Elias Attorney, Editors Of Nolo
Publisher: NOLO
September 03, 2009
I bought this book because I'm writing a mystery and my protagonist is a lawyer...and I know nothing of law. This book provides a good overview of defining what your search is about and resources for finding the information. It provides information on federal and state law as well as civil vs. criminal law, and the court system. It further details how to research specific cases, using case law and... more

If there is only one legal book that you wish to buy, let it be this one. Or if you are looking to buy your first legal book, this is the best choice. The reason is that this book contains information on the law in a great many areas of everyday life - houses, neighbors, landlords and tenants, workplace rights, small businesses, patents, wills and estate planning, parents and children, etc. There are... more

| 5. 101 Law Forms for Personal Use |
|
By: Robin Leonard J.D., Ralph Warner Attorney, Editors Of Nolo
Publisher: NOLO
November 03, 2009
When I saw 101 Law Forms offered for review by Amazon Vine, I jumped on it for two reasons. First, I have never, ever, been disappointed in a NOLO product. They are careful about the accuracy and ease of use of all their books. Second, this book contains forms I need right now, and dozens more that I could need sometime in the future. What a deal!
Here's my take on this book:more

| 6. Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary |
|
By: Gerald Hill, Kathleen Hill, Editors Of Nolo
Publisher: NOLO
May 29, 2009
This is a starter dictionary with simple and concise definitions of terms used in legal documents. The explanation of legal terms is easy to understand, but you also come across many terms which are not legal terms (e.g. phishing). The terms "attorney-client privilege," and "physician-patient privilege" are sacred in terms of law since they can not be divulged in a court of law. But recently several... more

| 7. Save Your Small Business: 10 Crucial Strategies to Survive Hard Times or Close Down and Move On |
|
By: Ralph Warner Attorney, Bethany Laurence J.D. Nolo Senior Website Editor
Publisher: NOLO
August 09, 2009
This is the third NOLO guide I've reviewed and the weakest so far because it strays too far from legal advice, covering too much ground.
The cover announces it contains "10 crucial strategies to survive hard times or close down & move on", while the introduction suggests a three-step approach to developing a viable survival plan and the back cover states that "Save Your Small Business"... more

By: Diana Fitzpatrick J.D. Nolo Legal Editor, Stephen Fishman J.D.
Publisher: NOLO
March 14, 2008
This book is not what I was expecting: a guide to having a freelance career based from your home. Instead, it mostly gives advice on how to work from home while employed by someone else, and the issues that may arise with respect to time collection, communication, flexibility of hours, etc. But for the issues it deals with, this guide is comprehensive and sensible. Especially helpful is the advice... more

By: Editors Of Nolo

This is a fantastic little book which is geared for legal newbies. I think the best audience for this is a college student who is just getting their feet wet. The book is small, portable, economical and makes a great gift and survival guide for those just stepping out on their own. while there are issues for everyone, I really think this book is a major plus for a college student.
Superb!... more
