Law by the ebook

by Livia Nicolai on

How many hours did you spend studying for your driving test, flipping through that State-distributed "rules of the road" manual over and over again? Your state government made sure you learned the laws, but did they teach you your rights? Legal Privacy Rights in New Jersey: A Guide for Non Lawyers is one New Jerseyan's solution to the lack of legal education to which all citizens are entitled. Privacy rights no longer need to be shrouded in mystery with words like "unbridled discretion" and "Terry searches."

Written in everyday English by attorney Anne Ronan, this accessible ebook aims to educate readers about their civil rights, including:

  • Search warrants: What are they really and when do the police need them?
  • Stop and frisks: When can the police pat down a pedestrian?
  • Car searches: What allows the police to look inside your car?
  • Intoxication and drug possession: How do these affect your privacy rights?
  • Remedies for unconstitutional acts: Excluding evidence and filing civil claims.

Combining real-world scenarios, hyperlinks to actual court decisions, and her years of experience, Anne Ronan makes it easy and empowering to learn about privacy rights. The ebook is accessible to any New Jersey citizen old enough to drive a car. And if you don't live in this state, have no fear... The author is hard at work writing a series of Real People's Guides, state-specific books similarly educating their respective citizens.

Such state-specific books are not only specific in the market that they target, but also in the content that they share, making ebooks the perfect medium for delivery. Due to high costs of production, resorting to a traditional publisher would not be profitable for the author... or the publisher. And with frequent updates in state laws, print books would be costly to update. But open the door to ebooks, and there goes an affordable way to spread content and engage with niche audiences.
