Legal Research – How to Find & Understand the Law
Posted by admin in International Law, Legal Research on October 1, 2011
“Legal Research: How to Find & Understand the Law” by Attorney Stephen Elias and the Editors of Nolo is another book in the huge legal library published by Nolo, a publisher that prides itself on making the law accessible to everyone. I’m an attorney, and I still like the books put out by Nolo, especially the ones on areas I’m not as familiar with, but want a little knowledge. Nolo always delivers.
Not everyone can afford Lexis or Westlaw, the two biggest subscriber based on-line legal resources. In law school we had access to both, because both companies wanted to earn your loyalty for when you got out and started practicing. Many firms have one or the other, and I suppose large firms may subscribe to both. Even with access to one of these, I find that I can often find things faster and easier with free resources. Many states have statutes and such on-line these days. More and more are becoming available all the time.
That’s where the book “Legal Research” comes in. It provides easy to follow research methods to help you answer your legal questions. The book has sections for on-line research as well as information regarding law libraries for those who have access to one.
The book consists of 386 pages divided among ten information packed chapters. The chapters include:
One: Understanding the Basics of the Law. Brief descriptions of what the law is, sources of law, state versus federal law, and the court system. Too basic for an attorney, but for the layperson the book was written for, this is a good introduction. Read the rest of this entry »

And having the right mindset could be all that you need to turn your trading into profit. Here’s how…
If you’ve not come across it before, the law of attraction simply states that what you think about most is what you will attract into your life.
And if that is the first time you’ve heard that assertion, it’s likely that the first thought that comes into your mind is “Rubbish”. After all, you’re constantly running the numbers, backtesting and refining your system. Surely the thing you’re thinking about most is how you’re going to spend your first million?
Our minds sometimes move in mysterious ways – especially our subconscious mind, which is the part that deals with all the boring stuff that keeps your body going, day in, day out, without you having to think things like “it’s time to blink my eyes again” or “must take another breath and pump some oxygen around my body”.
Your subconscious also deals with targets and attraction. And it’s this part that is helped by applying the law of attraction. Read the rest of this entry »
