If you haven’t heard of Nolo before, or Nolo Press as they were formerly known, it is a publisher that produces “do it yourself” legal resources. These books allow people to take care of more simple legal matters on their own, such as how to write your own will or how to do legal research like a lawyer would. Nolo has been around since 1971 and they are a trusted resource in the legal world, so we’re thrilled to have added some Nolo titles to our collection.
Currently we have the following Nolo titles:
- Nolo's encyclopedia of everyday law: answers to your most frequently asked legal questions 2023
- Legal research: how to find and understand the law, 2021
- The criminal law handbook: know your rights, survive the system, 2024
- Represent yourself in court: prepare & try a winning civil case, 2022
- Every landlord’s legal guide, 2023
- U.S. immigration made easy, 2023
- Estate planning basics, 2024
Another newer legal resource we wanted to make a plug for are West’s Nutshell Series books. The Nutshell Series covers a wide range of legal topics and the titles are great for someone just starting their legal research or for someone looking for a quick refresher. Read more about this resource in our blog post. Feel free to check out the other law resources we have in the library as well.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us by email or at 617-727-2590. We’re here to help!
