Don't forget to use Google "Refining a Query" on the results page to refine your search. Then there is the issue of authenticating online evidence for use in Court.
Wikipedia says "...one of the oldest books on military strategy in the world. It is also one of the most famous studies of strategy and has had a huge influence on Eastern and Western military planning, business tactics, and beyond."
Foolkit would add "and to the strategies of clever lawyers"
Foolkit would also match this with a favourite, "Getting to Yes" by Fisher, Ury and Patton. That one you will have to buy.
An excellent book on improving writing skills for everyone in a legal office is English Essentials - "The wouldn't-be-without-it guide to writing well". It is written by Mem Fox and Lyn Wilkinson and published by Macmillan.
Please give us feedback about your experiences using Foolkit and ideas for improvements.
See our courts pages for Court Rules and Forms.
Many South Australian Government forms can be accessed through Service SA. Use the Search facility.
