Optimal Standardization in the Law of… : DASH Story 2016-04-01
Story content
I am a poor person that cannot afford to hire an attorney. My neighbor is suing me claiming to have an easement over my land. I have discussed it extensively with the land surveyor and with the attorney that did the closing when I bought the property and have been told that there is none. I like to read, and by now got in the habit of reading about the law that pertains to my case. Both the actual state law pertaining to easements as well as case law on that. I like to go to Google Scholar for my searches. Many times the searches lead to HeinOnline which only makes available the first page, unless I pay. I can barely make ends meet, so I can't afford to spend on that. Now thanks to you, to the fact that you made the contents of your library freely accessible to the general public, I am able to actually read and inform myself about the law and it's effect on my life. If I am better informed, I can defend my rights better. It should not be ever underestimated how important this free access that you provide is. I think it is a great contribution to a betterment of society when you help the public to be better informed.
