The Handy Law Answer Book
For anyone who wants to know more about coping with our court system, credit and bankruptcy law, employment law, family law, or personal injury law, Hudson has written an excellent guide that I highly recommend. Written in a way that is easy to understand, it will arm any reader with the knowledge of what to do in a wide variety of situations and what to expect.

How many times have you slapped yourself on the forehead and said, "Wish I knew the law pertaining to my credit information!" Yeah, me neither. But when you really do need to know something about the law, a new reference book, "The Handy Law Answer Book" by David L. Hudson Jr., is just the ticket. . . . While not a substitute for a good attorney, "The Handy Law Answer Book" is a good source of basic information concerning the law and has a good appendix of online resources, a glossary of common legal terms. . . . I, for one, hope this is the first of a continuing series of explanatory law books for the layman and that Hudson has plans for future reference books along this line.
