Review
Bankruptcy and child support do not make the top 10 among most enjoyable topics, but when you need to know there's no substitute for accessible, understandable information. You could pay a lawyer $200 to learn the differences between guardianships, conservatorships, and power of attorney, or you could read chapter 7. You may still need a lawyer, but Johnson's guide lays the foundation so you understand the basics of legalese, putting you in a more informed position to make the most important of life's decisions.
From Library Journal
This is a "big picture" look at the U.S. legal system. Johnson's guide does not promise to help you file for divorce in Florida or tell you how to fight your traffic ticket in Kansas. It does present the major areas of law with which average people are concerned and the principles they need to protect their rights, their families, and their property. Chapters cover broad areas like family, employment, and business law. Emphasis is on understanding the theory, structure, and vocabulary of the applicable laws. The chapter on personal injury law, for example, presents tort theory, discusses types of negligence, and competently explains damages issues. Johnson's book is a good first source for anyone with a personal legal issue to explore. Readers will want to use it in conjunction with state-specific and subject legal guides. Recommended for public libraries.
