About Nolo’s Encyclopedia of Everyday Law
Whether we like it or not, the law touches our personal lives in many ways each day. We might not think much about the laws that affect us as we carry out simple tasks such as driving a car, making a call, or shopping. But every now and again, we’re sure to need an answer to a common legal question that arises in the course of daily life:
What can I do about my noisy neighbor?
What are my rights if I’m fired from my job
Do I really need to make a will?
What should I do if I can’t pay the child support I owe?
And so on.
This book provides answers to frequently asked questions about hundreds of subjects you might encounter in your personal life—topics that range from buying a house to getting a divorce, from paying your debts to starting and running a small business. Obviously, we can’t answer every question on a particular subject, but we’ve answered many common ones to get you started.
Throughout each chapter, you’ll find resources for additional information, including websites that will help you learn more about a specific area of the law, find the answer to your legal question, connect you with a government or community agency, or lead you to the form you need to accomplish a specific legal task. And if you need to go further, and read the text of a specific law or court case, the appendix in this book explains how to do basic legal research online or at the library.
Think of this book as a desk reference—a little encyclopedia that explains what the law really means in a language you can understand. But remember that the law changes constantly, as legislatures pass new statutes and courts hand down their rulings. We will publish new, revised editions of this book periodically, but it will never be perfectly current. It’s always your responsibility to be sure a law is up to date before you rely on it. Check for legal updates on our website at https://yazing.com/deals/nolo/NSR_Digitals for the most current legal information affecting Nolo books and software.
