Are You Legal? A Personal Legal-Audit and Empowerment Tool

Abstract

The book this file excerpts encourages you to audit your legal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities in each significant area of your life to take charge of your flourishing. Law is about empowerment. This audit is for better control, risk management, peace of mind, and prosperity. An audit is simply an examination against standards. Businesses have a lot at stake, which is why they undergo regular audits. You have no less at stake, relatively speaking, than they do. You have no excuse for disorderly conduct, financial affairs, employment and family relationships, or properties, leaving legal risks you have no need to face. Your life has value to you and others. Examine it through law’s lens. Experience and enjoy the power of lawful purpose. Answer for yourself the question, “Are you legal?” not just so that you can avoid punishment, liability, or other penalty or sanction but to improve your life and the lives of those around you.
