Laws frequently change.
You should always check to be sure that any laws or principles mentioned in these publications are current before relying on them. The publications give general information about the law. They do not provide specific advice about a particular legal problem that you may have, and they are not a substitute for seeing a lawyer at times when you may need one. If in doubt as to whether you need a lawyer, talk to one. If you need the advice of a lawyer and cannot afford one, you may be eligible for Legal Services.
