This book is very useful for anyone who is interested in becoming a legal secretary. Not only does it cover all of the various legal documents that are prepared in a law office, but it also explains calendaring, telephone skills and billing systems. In addition, there are chapters on legal research and getting a job. This is a very thorough book and I highly recommend it!
