"I am convinced that teaching people the basics of our legal system will lead to more community involvement, which will in turn benefit not just the students, but their children and their entire community."

Your Rights Rights Renting a Home

 

Please Note: Civil Survival cannot take the place of a lawyer. The series does not offer specific legal advice. Rather, Civil Survival is simply an educational tool intended to teach basic, general legal principals.

 

Every real-life situation is different, and every city, county, and state has many laws that could affect your legal rights. Please do not rely on Civil Survival for real-life legal problems.

 

If you need legal advice, there are many resources available. You can contact a lawyer or a local legal clinic. There is no guarantee that the content in this E-Learning Studio is up to date or accurate enough to be relied on instead of a lawyer.

 

Please remember that the Civil Survival Series is not a substitute for the advice of a trained lawyer.
