LEGAL LITERACY FOR THE ORDINARY CITIZEN
John Bosco, Esq.
Ralph Waldo Emerson preached self-reliance. Yet, when it comes to understanding the laws that govern us, we are not very self-reliant. We have developed a dependency upon legal professionals to tell us what our laws mean. In a democracy, an understanding of our laws ought to be within our grasp not beyond it. Patriots know the importance of legal literacy.

"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.
--Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820.

Legal literacy is not as difficult to attain as one might think. In less than three hours, you can achieve legal literacy. Let John Bosco show you how to scrape away the particular words of our laws to reveal the common framework that are hidden underneath. Familiarity with the common framework is the key to unlocking the meaning of our laws. John Bosco is the Director of the Legal Literacy Project (http://www.legalliteracyproject.com).
