Book Description
Each of us navigates dozens of little daily situations that accumulate into the literally thousands of understandings and agreements that we will make and receive during our adult lifetimes-and which, for the most part, happen without a hitch. From time to time, however, things don't go as planned, and when that happens, life's little legal landmines get our attention. You love your dry cleaner...then he loses your favorite suit. That oak tree in your neighbor's yard provides great shade for your barbecues...until it falls through your roof. You've been looking forward to your vacation for months...but the airline oversells your flight and you find yourself booted. You've clicked that innocuous "I Agree" button, accepting the voluminous terms for a new computer program dozens of times...but this one winds up crashing your hard drive. These and the other daily little legal landmines you'll find in this book explain why even when we're totally innocent and minding our own busi-ness, we can still find ourselves in the blink of an eye in small claims court. Folks have become so accustomed to threatening to "take you to court" that the accessibility of small claims courts may be part of the reason we sometimes don't try hard enough (or often enough) to resolve smaller disputes amongst ourselves. Make no mistake, courtrooms are not always level playing fields. To be totally blunt, what actually happened doesn't even matter; the only things that matter are what you can prove to the judge's satisfaction. If the judge feels you can prove the steps or elements needed to win, you will. If she doesn't, you won't. Only the judge's opinion matters. Because you never know for sure what the judge will think, you can never be sure what your outcome will be. Period. But let's say you go to court, win, and can actually collect what you're owed. Doesn't that make going to small claims court worthwhile? Do the math. After all the time, emotions, relationship damage, and cold hard cash, even a win can still be a net loss. And there's a reason for that: our court-rooms were never meant to be a forum for resolving every little legal landmine. Thinking about suing in small claims court? Think again, because the chances are you won't get the money you want. - Less than a third of lawsuits result in the person who sued re-ceiving the full amount of money they sued for. - One in five people who sue for money get less than half of what they sued for. - Over a quarter of people who sue for money get no money at all. So why not do everything you can to try to work it out, and stay out of court, in the first place? For most of us, steering clear of small claims court requires only three things: knowing how to spot life's little legal landmines; understanding a few basic legal concepts; and applying simple negotiation strategies. 101 Ways to Stay Out of Court covers all of this simply and quickly. Learn what type of case or 'cause of action' your claim falls under and the legal 'elements' you'll need to prove in order to win. Then learn some basic but highly effective negotiating strategies to help cinch the deal and what you need to know about mediation, a cost effective alternative to taking someone to court. The legal landmines included in this volume 1 are smartly organized into three sections based on when and where they typically occur; in your home, while you're shopping and running errands, and in the course of your travel, transportation and entertainment. In the Appendix you'll find a handy reference guide to help you navigate virtually any other legal land mine you may encounter!

Book Description
Conflict is inevitable, in both deals and disputes. Yet when clients call in the lawyers to haggle over who gets how much of the pie, traditional hard-bargaining tactics can lead to ruin. Too often, deals blow up, cases don’t settle, relationships fall apart, justice is delayed. Beyond Winning charts a way out of our current crisis of confidence in the legal system. It offers a fresh look at negotiation, aimed at helping lawyers turn disputes into deals, and deals into better deals, through practical, tough-minded problem-solving techniques. In this step-by-step guide to conflict resolution, the authors describe the many obstacles that can derail a legal negotiation, both behind the bargaining table with one’s own client and across the table with the other side. They offer clear, candid advice about ways lawyers can search for beneficial trades, enlarge the scope of interests, improve communication, minimize transaction costs, and leave both sides better off than before. But lawyers cannot do the job alone. People who hire lawyers must help change the game from conflict to collaboration. The entrepreneur structuring a joint venture, the plaintiff embroiled in a civil suit, the CEO negotiating an employment contract, the real estate developer concerned with environmental hazards, the parent considering a custody battle—clients who understand the pressures and incentives a lawyer faces can work more effectively within the legal system to promote their own best interests. Attorneys exhausted by the trench warfare of cases that drag on for years will find here a positive, proven approach to revitalizing their profession.

Book Description
This Handbook is designed to help people dealing with civil lawsuits in federal court without legal representation. Proceeding without a lawyer is called proceeding "pro se1," a Latin phrase meaning "for oneself," or sometimes "in propria persona," meaning "in his or her own person." Representing yourself in a lawsuit can be complicated, time consuming, and costly. Failing to follow court procedures can mean losing your case. For these reasons, you are urged to work with a lawyer if possible. Chapter 2 gives suggestions on finding a lawyer. Do not rely entirely on this Handbook. This Handbook provides a summary of civil lawsuit procedures, but it may not cover all procedures that may apply in your case. It also does not teach you about the laws that will control your case. Make sure you read the applicable federal and local court rules and do your own research at a law library or online to understand your case. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California has Clerk's Offices in the San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland courthouses. Clerk's Office staff can answer general questions, but they cannot give you any legal advice. For example, they cannot help you decide what to do in your lawsuit, tell you what the law means, or even advise you when documents are due. There are Legal Help Centers in the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose courthouses where you can get free help with your lawsuit from an attorney who can help you prepare documents and give limited legal advice. This attorney will not be your lawyer and you will still be representing yourself. See Chapter 2 for more details.
