This book was written from the recorded episodes listed above, in Liam Perry's voice, and every passage set in quotation marks is his own words as he said them on the podcast, with only spoken filler removed. Where he qualified an answer, the book keeps the qualification, and where a case result is described, it appears as he described it. Points of California law are tied to the code section that governs them so a reader can check the rule directly. Nothing in this book is offered as legal advice for a specific case.
