The recent publication of revised editions of two National Consumer Law Center practice manuals reminded me that I wanted to post something about the availability of NCLC's publications. This month, NCLC came out with the 6th edition of Fair Credit Reporting and the 8th edition of Consumer Bankruptcy Law and Practice. These manuals are part of NCLC's 17-volume set of consumer law practice manuals. They are available as a set or one-by-one. Each volume provides a comprehensive textual review of the subject matter supported by the relevant legal authorities. The manuals come with searchable CD-Roms that contain statutes, legislative histories, agency documents, sample pleadings, and other items. I find the manuals extremely useful because they help me get a jump-start on research, giving me ideas for further inquiry and saving me time. And, for the uninitiated, the manuals also provide a background understanding of the relevant body of law before delving into the nitty-gritty. My personal favorites are Fair Debt Collection and Consumer Class Actions.
I'm not NCLC's publicist, I'm not on commission, and NCLC didn't ask me to do this. But I know a good thing when I see it. If you are interested in learning more about NCLC's publications, everything you need to know is available here.
