Product Description
Introduction to Paralegalism, seventh edition, explores the dynamic of working in a modern law office setting, and provides new paralegals with the hands-on skills and real-world context necessary to succeed in the field. Foremost attention is given to the rules of ethics, including rules from all fifty states and the District of Columbia, and in particular, the ethical guidelines that lawyers and paralegals must follow. Introduction to Paralegalism, seventh edition, also provides students important insight to the efforts underway to regulate the profession in legislatures, courts, bar associations, and paralegal associations. Ten critical skills are covered in the book: identifying legal issues, breaking rules into elements, applying rules to facts, interviewing clients, investigating facts, digesting discovery documents, providing litigation assistance, researching the law, drafting documents, and representing clients at administrative agencies where authorized by law.

 Intro to Paralegalism November 10, 2008
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 September 23, 2008
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 May 30, 2007

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.
A students perspective... February 10, 2007

The book is a wonderful source of information and is organized in such a way that it's easy to read right through and not feel lost by lack of verbal explanations. But, the font size is very small which makes it difficult to study or read for extended periods withough resting your eyes. It's also thick and very heavy. We use this book in our Paralegal class at George Mason University.
Useful text and reference August 16, 2006

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.
