- Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2023I recently watched the movie My Cousin Vinny and realised how important it is to know how the court system works- even if you haven't been accused of out-of-state murder and armed robbery. This book is exactly what I was looking for: a basic but informative guide to laws and legal issues, including legal rights, contracts, taxes, domestic and business etc.. Easy to understand, it doesn't get bogged down nor go out into the weeds in complicated jurisprudence. A useful and reasonably sized reference tool, but obviously not a substitute for legal counsel.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023I definitely recommend this book to beginners or anyone who is just trying to study up on our laws and the justice law system. This author provided examples and was able to make this book really informational without it being boring or any of type confusing. Definitely recommend if you're just starting out or you just wanna know your rights and law system ;)
- Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2024My Granddaughter wanted to go to Law School. After reading the book she changed her mind. This book saved me approximately $125,000.00. I love it and the BEST INVESTMENT I ever made🙃😂🤣!!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024The book arrived early and in good condition. No tears or other noticable damage. So far I am really enjoying reading it.
The content is very basic, and it does not go into a lot of deal. You will have to do additional research on some subjects, but it does give enough to get started or answer basic questions.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024This book was such a perfect gift for my sister who is starting to learn about law. She was thrilled about the knowledge that she will learn from the book. This book is perfectly priced and made very well. I can't wait to see what my sister will learn in her law classes in college and from the book itself. Thank you for being super helpful and diligent on shipping and making another perfect gift happen.
