I looked at several books and found this one by Nolo to be COMPLETE, SUPERB, EASY TO FOLLOW.It explains benefits of incorporating then lead you through very clear step-by-step instructions.CD provides samples, save you from typing and there's explicit instructions fro each state.I incorporated in MA successfully using this guide.The author(attorney) has written many related books in similar clear step-by-step fashion.Thank you so much.I couldn't have had the guts to incorporate without this book and it turned out to be so easy.

A great practical well written book for all!
Out of all the books or articles i have read on divorce, this author really gets to the point when it comes to divorce & custody.I also wrote the author Ms .

Short, sweet, and to the point
After reading this book you can probably be an executor for an estate without hiring an attorney (assuming no legal documents have to be prepared or filed in court). I found this book in the reference section of the Westfield Pubic Library (NJ) along with its companion book: A Family Guide to Wills, Funerals & Probate (ISBN: 081604550X). This book was written for an executor to read, and the companion book concerned much of the same material but for the decedent to read before he or she dies.
A Must-Have Book For The Newly Appointed Executor
I purchased this book months ago to prepare myself for the future when I will have to handle my mother's affairs.To my absolute surprise, I have recently been appointed as administrator of my long lost cousin's estate.Yeap, he died intestate, without a will. Luckily I was just finishing this book so I had a clue what to do next.Read more

Simple and straightforward - includes CD with forms!
This book (6th edition) has taken a BIG weight off of my mind regarding writing a will.My husband and I currently don't have a will (and apparently have lots of company - reportedly 60% of Americans don't have wills), but I am in the process of changing that with the reassuring help of this book.
Will writing is easy.
I bought this book mostly because I wanted my daughter in the right hands if something were to happen to both my husband and I.Peace of mind knowing that she will indeed end up with the people we select is worth a million and we didn't to have to spend much money to set this up.This book is great to have your wishes put down so everything is distributed how you want it.Much more convenient then going to a lawyer and saves you a lot of money.

mking a will made easy
This subject is presented in a logical and easy to follow way. I appreaciated that all bases were covered. I would recommend Nolo`s Simple Will Book as a good investment. ... Read more

Newer edition available
A newer edition of this book is available.The 5th ed. is ISBN 0735556660.Published 04/13/2006.

Great study aid!
A agree with the previous comment, this book does have a strong MBCA focus but it does frequently reference Delaware law as well as occasionally some other states. This is an excellent study aid, I used to prepare for my corporations exam, but I wish I had been more diligent about reading it throughout the year as we were studying various subjects, no doubt my class would have made much more sense. Corporations has thus far been the most difficult law school course I"ve taken (partly due to my prof.) and this book was a life-saver. My only advice is not to wait to the last minute. Yes this book is a great summary of the course, but it's still very dense and nearly 700 pages long. It will take a good while to go through if you're really reading, outlining and trying to learn the material. I spent nearly all day for three full days just getting through this book. It was well worth the effort, but if I had to do it all over again, I would have kept up with the book during the course or started prepping a few weeks prior.

Solid Book, but with MBCA Focus
I write mainly to note that the book focuses almost exclusively on the Model Business Corporation Act, with only occasional references to Deleware or other state law.If your course has a similar focus, then this is a solid book that progresses well and lets you test you knowledge along the way.But if your class, like mine, focuses mainly on Deleware law, this book will prove significantly less useful.The book will often state something generic like, Some states allow X and others do not. But it rarely specifies which states have adopted which approach. ... Read more

Hot Field, Hot Book!
Call this book Release 2.0!It's a fine upgrade from Prof. Burgunder's prior release. Stay Current on Technology & The Law!
A splendid piece of work!It is timely and up-to-date with all the most recent & important technological law issues, including the Internet.It contains sophisticated analysis, but in an easy-to-read style.I particularly liked how the Internet is treated in the context of associatedtechnology issues, rather than segregated as a separate unrelated universe. A big plus is the web site connected to the book where Burgunder providesupdates about current issues --- such as Napster, Internetlinking, and the antitrust case against Microsoft.This will keep thematerial fresh for years to come!I recommend this book to anyone whowants to learn about technology law.It's a winner!

helpful, well written, informative
I bought this book because it was the most recent publication purporting to explain technology law.Although I thought the price was a little high, I sure got more than my money's worth.This book really covers the mostimportant and interesting topics in technology law, and it does soextremely well.Biotech, Internet patents, privacy, obscenity, copyrights,trade secrets, click-wraps, domain names, design protection, strategies forcomputer programs, the Microsoft Antitrust case-you name it and this bookhas got it.The book also deals with international matters, such as theWTO, and international strategic considerations.The court case examplesare well selected, and the editing is superb.They are not to short to betrivial, but not to long either.I also visited the Web site mentioned onthe back cover.It already has a bunch of helpful updates, including theNapster and DVD encryption (DeCSS) debates, among many others.This reallyis a great book.I recommend it highly. ...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is interesting, and helped me a lot when it came to my studies. It is something every office worker should have.

Review of Legal Office Procedures by Dr. Joyce Morton
These are just a few of the reasons students studying to become a legal secretary or paralegal continue to rave about this book. Average Rating
This average book for the most part is good to use as a general reference.It is somewhat outdated and it uses California law for most of its examples so if you live in another state, you'll need to find out what the law is in YOUR state.The best parts of the book are the practice exercises at the end of each chapter in which you use the disk provided.This gives "hands-on" experience. ...

Better than most
The Redlich hornbook is a lot shorter and easier to read, but unfortunately is last updated in 1999.Until it is current, these are the best.

Disappointed
Normally, I recommend Examples & Explanation series over any of the other commerical outlines out there. I was very disappointed with both Constitutional Law books however. The examples are unhelpful, especially when a lot of the answers depend on material you won't learn for several chapters! Some of the text is useful but much of it is the authors biased view of what cases mean or should mean. This isn't helpful if you are not taking the class from them! A Must Buy for Constitutional Law Students
This book is the best study guide for Constitutional Law that I have read. It is written in narrative form, as opposed to outline form.Theexplanations of cases are clear and concise and reflect the nuances of thelenthy cases in this area where single-paragraph statements in outlinescannot.More importantly, the authors are well regarded constitutional lawprofessors whose evaluations of the cases can be trusted to be accurate aswell as even-handed. ...

title abstracting in all 120 kentucky counties
as a company who searches titles in all 120 kentucky counties, everyday, we believe this book is useful in showing the various basic terms in real estate and the nesessary use of title insurance.

Used this text in my Masters of Science in Real Estate
The book is useful if you have no experience with real estate law.It presents real estate legal concepts in a logical manner breaking topics up into such things as easements, etc.However, much of the information is covered in the real estate law class if you have taken the California Salesperson exam.

Complete, concise and understandable
I am not a law student, but I want to feel secure in the legal aspects of my activities as a real estate investor. This book provides exactly that. It is easy to understand and very well organized. It may be missing a fewexamples for some complex points, but in general is a great book foranybody who want to really know the ins and outs of real estate law. ... Read more
