Rio Grande Books Tips Lawyers Wish You Knew Going It Alone at the Courthouse by Ann D Zeigler
Survival Guide: Filing Your Own Lawsuit & Much More--Are You In Over Your Head? Do you know which courthouse to go to? What is evidence, really? Are you sure you remember all the accident details perfectly? Certificate of service? What's the difference between a summons and a subpoena? Is a grand jury just bigger than a regular one? As a juror, do you really need to listen to everything every witness says, or will the lawyers tell you what it means? This guide helps you understand how the court system works. It also covers such simple things as how you should dress and act in court. If you already know all the answers, you probably went to law school. If you don't know everything, this book will help you avoid being your own worst enemy or becoming "a fool as a client" at the courthouse.
