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
