He worked for various public-interest law firms and for the California Supreme Court before coming to Nolo, where he has edited several books and software packages. After being immersed in creating self-help legal software programs to make tedious legal tasks as easy and non-intimidating as possible, Albin became the architect of Nolo's website.
