Editorial Reviews
Review
The best book in Texas for straightforward answers to legal questions that complicate our lives. — Lynne Liberato, past president, State Bar of Texas This book keeps you well informed about your legal rights. This is good and bad for Judges. The litigants are better prepared and so dockets run smoothly… but … we now have to be even better at what we do. When litigants come in quoting Richard Alderman, I know, I better really be on my toes. — Judge Molly Maness-Barnes, Texas small claims court In his latest edition of Know Your Rights!, Professor Alderman continues his tradition of giving the people of Texas a gift-the gift of understanding their legal rights and responsibilities. He demystifies the law and makes it user-friendly for the reader. This book is a must-read for the lawyer and non-lawyer alike. — Nancy B. Rapoport, University of Houston Law Center This book is better than having a lawyer in the family. Know Your Rights! is more than just ‘A little bit of knowledge’ and not nearly as dangerous. READ IT. That’s an order! — “Judge” Larry Joe Doherty, star of TV’s Texas Justice, star of TV’s Texas Justice
