Know Your Legal Rights

The law touches an individual?s wallet, home, job, and many personal
relationships. Yet most people are not aware of all their legal rights
and responsibilities. Know Your Legal Rights guides readers over
hundreds of common legal hurdles, from auto insurance to zoning
regulations. Leaving no stone unturned, this book applies information
about civil law and the American judicial system to questions of
marriage and divorce, live-in rights, hired contractors, medical
dilemmas, estate planning, pensions, and more. Even civil liberties
issues such as job discrimination and household searches are treated in
detail. Updated to reflect current laws, including a summary of the new
bankruptcy law, the third edition of this practical reference is written
in layman?s language, not legal jargon. It helps readers recognize when
they have a legal problem and decide if and how they can resolve it on
their own. And if a problem does require a lawyer, the book shows
exactly how to find qualified legal counsel. An invaluable addition to
the home or small business reference library.
