 Thorough, confidence building., 2008-11-05
I recommend this book to anyone with any kind of suit to file in court...and especially if you hire a lawyer. This way, you can stay up to speed on the process of what is going on, and what your lawyer should be doing. The book goes into enough detail to explain the important things, but not so much detail that you fall asleep trying to muddle through. I recommend starting anywhere inside and reading anything you have any questions about.
It is a real eye opener, unfortunately, if you have a lazy lawyer who is just phoning your case in. With this book in your arsenal, you will know what is expected of your barrister! Enjoy. This book is recommended if you are even THINKING of suing someone or going to court for any reason. In my case, I found out that my lawyer was 1)Overcharging me a great deal and 2) Not doing his homework and 3) Not fighting for me in court nearly as hard as was possible. As a result, I fired that firm and hired another one for the appeal.

 Very Well Written Read, 2008-02-23
The authors have done a fantastic job of abbreviating the court process and have developed a thorough guide to the courts. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in self-representation in personal matters.
