Books by lawyers, judges, policy people and public servants. Many explain an area of law to the people it affects: injury, estate planning, family law, immigration, business disputes. Others are about government, policy and public life.
Books written by practicing attorneys for the public are some of the clearest explanations of the law you can find. They are still not legal advice, and law varies by state and country.
This shelf holds 112 books. Publication years run from 2016 to 2026. 8 of them have an audiobook edition. The most-rated on Amazon are The Game Changing Attorney, Fireproof, Greedy Bastards. The list below is sorted by how many ratings each book has on Amazon, so the most-read titles come first.
