this is a question for all the law students?

Question

i am not going to scholl for a law degree nor do i wish to.. i just want a general understanding of the law. I know that there are alot of books that you can refer to is there a book that you would recommend for a begginer who has no pass experience with the subject. i really just want to learn general things like obstruction def and pun. and exortion def and pun things like that is there a book that all lawers refer to ?? if there is please let me know
and keep it simple if possible..

Answer 1

There is a group of books called "Nutshells" on each specific topic in the law that are pretty easy to understand and can help you out. For example, I found "Agency, Partnership, and the LLC in a Nutshell" very good.

Answer 2

The nutshell series was not very helpful to me...BUT...they are a relatively simple read.

Most law school libraries have teh entire nutshell series available to look at and possibly check out.

Beyond that, there are not a lot of books that sum up law topics in very short boks. You may want to see if anybody in your area has a BarBri outline around. I have found them to be very helpful.

Whatever you do, please understand that reading a book or two can be dangerous if you act upon somehting you read without understanding that many different areas of law go together to answer a single question. Also, please understand that many areas of law are controlled by state specific case law, statutes, regulations, etc. Most of the nuthsell like books are VERY gneral!!!
