A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For courses in Paralegal (Introduction), Legal Concepts for Paralegals, and Introduction to Law.

 

Written by an award-winning author team, The Paralegal Professional 2e builds a solid foundation in substantive and procedural legal knowledge while developing the real-world skills students will need throughout their course of study. A proven learning system incorporates chapter opening vignettes, margin definitions, notes on ethical issues, advice from the field features, and a wealth of new end of chapter exercises and case materials that will help students build critical thinking and procedural skills throughout the course.

 

In response to instructor feedback the 2nd edition has been reorganized into three parts.  Part 1 introduces students to the paralegal profession and includes complete chapters on ethics and on technology in the law office. Part 2 covers paralegal skills and procedures. Part 3 contains overviews of the most common areas of legal practice.  By placing the substantive law chapters at the end of text, we have made it easier to customize the text more easily to your curriculum.  New to this edition is the Paralegal Professional Video Classroom Series which includes 35 scenario-based video clips dealing with getting-a-job, ethics, and paralegal practice situations that allow you to bring the real-world into the classroom.
