How and When to be Your Own Lawyer
This is a thorough, careful examination of the ins and outs of self-representation in a civil lawsuit. The authors open with a lesson on the judicial system, thereafter providing a realistic look at what to consider when deciding whether or not to proceed "pro se." Once the reader decides to go it alone, this book gives him or her the necessary law, procedures, and strategies to prepare a case and get it to court. The how-to instruction is augmented by anecdotes and historical perspective, making the text as interesting as it is practical. Well-rounded appendixes provide forms, definitions, and sample arguments. Highly recommended for public libraries.- Joan Pedzich, Harris, Beach & Wilcox, Rochester, N.Y.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
