Each of the book's twenty chapters focuses on an important aspect of the law(for example, contracts and torts) or on an aspect of everyday life with significant legal ramifications (for example, real estate and automobiles). Every chapter is designed to be as self-contained as possible so that you are not forced to shuffle between chapters to get a broad picture of the you want to know about.
