Excellent introduction to daily laws in a clear language!

This book provide you the common sense and the fundamental knowledge in the legal arena that relates to all aspects of our daily life. The language is clear, direct, easy understanding, and well written. I have read several fundamental law books, some of them is difficult to understand due to the "lawyer English"; for example, I encountered one paragrah that has only one sentence and has around 100 words; and most of those sentences I found in those books are around 50-60 wrods in complex structures. This book is replete of the basic legal knowledge for a common citizen how to handle their daily affairs with confident. This book is also good for the would-be first year law students gaining the fundamental knowledge before starting the career in law schools.

Very Good Introductory Book for Everday Law.

This book by Messrs. Belli and Wilkinson uncovers mystery concerning the law. This reference book give very clear and readable legal advice which is free of the legal jargon. I found information on the topics of wills, estate planning, and real estate very useful and worth the price of the book. A must for your personal library.
