A Basic Life Skill Not Taught in High School or College
Watch Promo
This is the missing life skills course from your high school or college education. In this course you will learn to find and research the laws that govern your behavior as a resident of Pennsylvania. You will learn the difference between Federal and State and Municipal laws and which type of behavior each of them regulates. You will also learn the difference between a "law" and a "regulation" and "contract law."
If you have been served with a complaint or summons or citation, this course will teach you to do some preliminary research to determine whether or not you need a lawyer. If you do need a lawyer, the course will teach you which items are important to prove your case.
This course is also designed for individuals who run a business or nonprofit institution and who need to know the rules which regulate their conduct to work efficiently with counsel.
