FREE LEGAL TREATISES
LITIGATION TOOL #10.010

These legal treatises are all free and most are downloadable to your local hard drive.  While many of them are older, the concepts described and most of the authorities are still pertinent.  They will save you many trips to the law library, which in many cases is out of reach to most people who do not live in or near larger cities.  All of the references in this section are offsite links.  We are not responsible for their content.  All of these titles are sequenced in alphabetical order to make them easier to navigate.

The books indicated were free at the time this list was last updated.  Sometimes, the books are turned into items for sale instead of free based on how frequently they are downloaded.  When this happens, businesses repackage and republish books that are outside the copyright and pay Google to remove the free item from their free books site.  Therefore:

  1. Some links indicated below may become outdated over time and no longer be free. If you find an expired link, we would appreciate being notified through our Contact Us page.
  2. If you see something you like that is free, it is best to download and archive it for later reuse in case it changes to a paid book.  We have done this in the case of everything we like and incorporated them into our Member Subscriptions Library offering, along with other books.

Our favorite sources of free law books are:

  1. Archive.org: Texts Section
  2. Google Books
  3. Nolo Books Online-Free
  4. Project Gutenberg

If you want to make your OWN free PDF law books by scanning in a book that is outside the 75 year copyright protection window, we recommend obtaining BOTH of the following items:

If you download these books as PDF files, be advised of the following deficiencies:

  1. They are not OCR'd to allow you to select, copy, and past text from them.
  2. The bookmarks have not been added to replicate the table of contents, so they are more difficult to navigate.

If you want a version of the books listed that do NOT have the above deficiencies, then you may wish to join our Member Subscriptions offering.  The Member Subscription Library that goes with that offering features PDF versions of many of these books that have both been OCR'd and booksmarks have been added to make them easier to navigate and use as a reference tool.
