Understanding Legal Terms

Understanding Legal Terms_Courtroom Humor is a book of 150 questions and answers that provide an explanation of some basic legal terms which might, otherwise, be confusing. The courtroom humor should give relief to a topic that might prove dry and obtuse. Because the answers given are limited by space, a thorough knowledge may require further research. Each answer begins with the opening “In NYS,” which stands for “In New York State”. The answers given only apply to the laws of New York State. [New York State has a rich history of case law].
