Areas of discussion include whether a police officer stop you and frisk you, the reasons why an officer would conduct a warrantless search, laws related to the search of a car or apartment, what a person should keep in mind if he or she is arrested, what Miranda rights are, what a person accused of a crime should do once they have a lawyer, what a person who is considering buying a home should think about, when should you find an attorney when buying a house, what you should expect from an attorney when purchasing property, if a person can buy a house without an attorne, and what problems a person would need protection when purchasing a house. Additional segments include "Access" (which describes the services of Greater Boston Legal Services, Inc.), "Information" (on the Legal Fee Arbitration Board of the Massachusetts Bar Association), a listing of legal aid societies, and the "Community Calendar."
