Advance Praise
for
CARLAW
"CARLAW is a treasure trove
of information, insight, experience and common sense. There
is no other collection of its kind. It's a 'must read' for
all Dealers, General Managers and Comptrollers. I refer to
my copy on a constant basis; in fact, I keep it on my desk."
Adam Goldfein
Host
of Syndicated Talk Show
AutoScoop - The Inside to Car Buying
"Presented in 'dealerese' rather than
legalese, CARLAW is not what you would expect
from a book that attempts to explain the law to a layperson.
Any dealer whose personal philosophy is, 'That's what I have
a lawyer for,' is missing the opportunity to say, 'Since
reading this book I haven't had the need to hire a lawyer!'"

by Thomas B. Hudson
Purchase Online
Tom Hudson's
lively legal wit and wisdom in CARLAW
will not only entertain, but will also inform
dealers and laymen alike. Both groups can
benefit from this wide-ranging collection of
stories illustrating the perils of automobile
litigation and the ways to avoid it. With topics
like,
"A Bad Day in Dealerville"
"Terrorism, Dealer Risks and Costs" and
"Wanna Buy Your Lawyer a Yacht?"
Hudson draws on his thirty
years of comprehensive legal expertise. He harnesses his
considerable writing and speaking abilities to cite actual
cases, some of which strain credulity.
Tom Hudson is the author of
numerous articles on auto dealer practices and finance,
published in the World of Special Finance, Auto Dealer
Monthly, F&I Magazine, and eDealerNews.com, among others. He
is a sought-after speaker from coast to coast on topics of
legal interest to organizations like The American Financial
Services Association, The National Automotive Finance
Association, The American Bar Association, The National
Automobile Dealers Association and state auto dealer
associations.
CARLAW
includes timely advice on matters essential to automobile
aficionados, both professional and pedestrian. His topics
are varied and inclusive:
From advertising to
arbitration
From leasing to "Lemon Laws"
From the Truth in Lending Act to traps
This compelling narrative -
spirited, candid and humorous - will stimulate and educate
readers who will appreciate the law spelled out - not in
legalese - but in story.
As Tom Hudson asks, "Wanna
buy your lawyer a yacht?" If NOT, then read CARLAW!
