Navigate the law, the history, the theories, the cases, and the system! A legal primer to the practice and history of law in the United States.


Every day we encounter the rules of law—from the time we decide to get married, or perhaps divorced, to making a purchase with our credit cards or dealing with bankruptcy. Let The Handy Law Answer Book help you navigate the system.

You’ll learn useful advice on how to find a lawyer; what happens when you file a lawsuit or are sued by someone else; what your rights in the workplace are; and what you can expect when you have your day in court. Plus, how to read those legal citations as well as some fascinating—and quirky—legal cases.


Combining practical legal tips with an exhaustive overview of the law in the United States, you’ll learn about the history of the U.S. legal system and about the personalities who shaped it. You’ll get an introduction to various laws, important cases, court opinions, and how they all might affect you. You’ll find answers to more than 800 questions, including …

  • Where did the word tort come from?
  • How are state court judges selected?
  • Where did the first U.S. Supreme Court meet?
  • How did our system of law evolve?
  • How does one best navigate that system?
