Self-Help Law for Business

David Giacalone, a retired Harvard lawyer who edits shlep: the Self-Help Law ExPress, which offers perspectives on self-help law, writes about Work.com's legal section:

...I want to point to a very useful How-to-Guide by Work.com editor Daniel Kehrer, titled Guide to Do-It-Yourself Legal Help, which has the tag ”Lawyers are vital, but expensive. Self-help options abound for everyday legal matters.”   It looks like a good example of the Work.com Guide concept, with a short introduction, Action Steps (“The best contacts and resources to help you get it done”), Tips & Tactics (Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide), Recommended Solution Providers, Best Sites to Learn More, and Best Blogs and Forums.   (The weblog list shows the current dearth of quality content on legal self-help.   shlep is trying to help fill that void.)   If you’re a business searching for a place to learn about legal issues, especially with the thought of doing as much legal problem-solving as possible without lawyers, Work.com is a good place to look.

We invite those of you with legal self-help experience and recommendations to share your wisdom about what worked for you - write a guide for the Work.com legal channel. This is a great example of an area where members can learn a lot from the direct experience of other members.
