Nolo was born of the frustration of two legal aid lawyers who were working to help low-income families in the San Francisco Bay area in the late 1960s. Charles (Ed) Sherman and Ralph (Jake) Warner were tired of having to turn away working people who didn't qualify for free legal aid but couldn’t afford lawyers. There was no place to send these people, because there were almost no sources of free or low-cost legal information—no do-it-yourself books or software, no court-based, self-help programs, no Internet. And precisely because the many millions of Americans who earned less than $5 per hour had to purchase even the most routine legal information and help at $80 per hour, most went without. In 1971, to help fill the need, Sherman wrote How To Do Your Own Divorce in California, and Warner immediately followed with The California Tenants’ Handbook (with Sherman and Myron Moskovitz). They took the books to established publishers, who promptly rejected them. (“Self-help law? You must be nuts!”)Warner and Sherman decided they had no alternative but to publish the books themselves—and so Nolo Press was created. (Nolo, in Latin, means “I don’t choose to.” Warner and Sherman thought it was appropriate given that they had never intended to become publishers.) Joined by Toni Ihara, they committed to publishing a comprehensive series of do-it-yourself legal guides. Nolo books soon covered a wide variety of legal niches, including debtors’ rights (How to Beat the Bill Collector, by Warner and Peter Jan Honigsberg), personal relationships (The Living Together Kit, by Warner and Ihara), business formation (How to Form Your Own California Corporation, by Anthony Mancuso), and estate planning (Plan Your Estate, by Denis Clifford). The public was hungry for this information, and Nolo became widely recognized as a pioneer in what can best be described as a popular law revolution.
