After
reviewing the NATIONAL
CONSTRUCTION LAW MANUAL,
Mark Benjamin, President of Morley Construction Company, a
California based General Contractor, had this to say:
"Jim Acret has
influenced the lives of countless professionals over the
decades he has practiced law. I am fortunate to be one
of them.
Acret's
National Construction Law Manual had long
been on Jim's mind while lecturing to many professional
organizations and university students. But a national
volume would be a difficult undertaking, it would have
to address the needs of all professional students
coast-to-coast and serve as a basic primer for all
involved in the construction process. Being a part-time
educator, Jim has successfully developed this manual for
everyone to use and understand, and has made this
difficult subject clear to all.
The National
Construction Law Manual is a great resource for
professionals who work in the construction environment.
The reader can easily gain a very thorough understanding
of the legal issues facing the industry, use it to fill
in some gaps in his or her knowledge of the subject, or
use the manual to refresh previously acquired skills. It
takes you through basic contract law, torts, liens,
dispute resolution, and the most commonly used contract
forms.
For the twenty
years I have known Jim, he has never ceased to amaze me
with his quick insight, gentle wit, commitment to
fairness, plain English, and his unquenchable desire to
learn. I know the readers of this book will enjoy the
logical flow of the chapters, the clear prose, the
relevant examples, and the decades of wisdom bound
within this volume."
