In addition to the forms, a number of checklists are provided that summarize the laws and issues being discussed. Each chapter begins with an overview that gives a quick reference to the particular sections of the chapter for which the lawyer will have the most use. Readers who wish to practice in this area of the law are encouraged not only to read this book and the other publications from the ABA referenced within, but also to attend continuing education programs in order to become well versed in the state-specific application of many of these laws.
