Legal Know-How

George Gordon Coughlin, Jr. is the author of YOUR HANDBOOK OF EVERYDAY LAW, 5th ed. This informative book not only has descriptions of the different types of law, but it also includes a glossary as well as helpful tables such as state time limitations for the start of tort actions. What caught my eye about this legal reference book is the conciseness and easy-to-understand descriptions of what any layperson needs to know about various aspects of the law. The entries are not intimidating whatsoever, which gives the book an accommodating feel to anyone who picks it up as a reference. If there is one criticism of the book, it would have to be whether or not the information/cases/tables are updated. The copyright date of the book is 1993. What I would like to know is if the author is going to be publishing another edition in the very near future. If so, that book will definitely be referred to as well.
