The majority of law books on the market today add more confusion and fog to understanding basic legal principles. "Hide-the-ball" as opposed to "this is how you solve this type of problem" seems to be the status quo. As my first year property law professor once said, "the moment you solve a legal problem for you client is the moment you stopped getting paid." So, you can understand why most attorneys and "legal experts" play hide-the-ball. Also, one major reason for the large quantity of litigation clogging our civil courtrooms is due to poor legal drafting.

In "Drafting Contracts," author Tina L. Stark provides the best "How To" guide on the market today for drafting and understanding contracts in the United States. Ms. Stark has checklists, examples, and step-by-step instructions of how to draft a preventive legal document.

Highly reccomended.
