Excerpt from Laws of the People

This volume is prepared in consequence of many requests from clients of the editor, who have felt the need of a work that would, at least, give them a fair knowledge of the law of their own state. The object of this work is to impress upon laymen the fact that ignorance of the law is no excuse for its violation; and to further impress upon them that the knowledge of the law is not beyond their reach, but, to the contrary, can be obtained by spending a few minutes of each day in study.

In ancient days, Jewish parents considered it of vital importance to have their children know the law; and the greatness of the race, no doubt, can be traced to such parental foresight. Knowledge to the Jew meant power; and ignorance meant disgrace and weakness.

The aim of this book is to inspire in the reader a desire for useful knowledge, to tell him how to do things, when not to do them, and how to escape litigation by a knowledge of the law.

Lex Populi is not a work of procedure but of information; and, like all books of information, it is by no means complete; it does, however, contain enough valuable information to make procedure unnecessary in many instances.
