Intro to Paralegalism

This book was in excellent condition and I was happy it arrived sooner than the estimated shipping time indicated. I would buy from this seller again.

Excellent Purchase

This book is a must for those considering a paralegal career. The book is very detailed, with good examples and offers several excercises. You'll want to keep this book when the semester ends; no need to do a re-sale on this item.

Truly Excellent Source Book for Paralegals

I don't understand the negative reviews of this book. I think the reviewers confused it with another book. This is a big solid book full of information for paralegals and paralegal students. We used this book in three different classes at WOLI (Washington Online Learning Institute) where I attended paralegal school. We used it in the intro class, where we learned all about the paralegal profession, the legal research class, which we used in conjunction with learning how to do legal research via the computer on Westlaw, and also in the ethics course. I know WOLI uses this book also for some other courses that I did not take, but other students do. I think this book is very well written and is chock full of interesting and useful information. I recommend it highly. I really enjoyed studying from this book, and now as a working paralegal (litigation and trial prep work at a Manhattan law firm; I also worked in the corporate dept. for a few months) this book has a prominent place on my library shelf and I still pick it up and read it quite frequently. A very good book.

Useful text and reference

I use this book as the textbook in an Intro to Law for Paralegals class that I teach. The books is incredibly well-organized and useful. There are very few typos, and additionally it contains great references at the end of each chapter. While I think the book is designed for the classroom setting, it can also be used for self-teaching as well. Even after the class is over students can use the book as a reference guide.

Excellent Resource Guide

This book is an excellent text for indivdiuals wishing to study the paralegal profession or the legal system in general. I would highly recommend it to any of my peers in the legal community.
