Does anyone have recommendations on courses surrounding law? I know law is a broad subject, but I’m looking for broad recommendations that I can then narrow down on since I’m not sure where to start yet.
A warning on this topic: it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking you know more than you really do.
If large sums of money and/or potential professional liabilities are involved, then cheapest long-term approach is to hire a competent licensed lawyer.
I went back to university to study law part-time (night school along with lots of ex-police, PIs, etc). Although I dropped out, I gained a basic understanding by following the law school's curriculum.

We also used Symbolic Logic by Klenk, a good text but not as good an introduction and setup as the former.
I found it interesting.
Not a course, but a good resource for finding up-to-date versions of laws in the US.
