This text takes a completely different approach to teaching paralegal skills in
the classroom, bridging the gap between classroom learning and on-the-job
realities. The authors carefully designed the full-color text and features to
give students a glimpse of the types of situations and demands that they may
encounter as professional paralegals. Students will become proficient in all the
fundamental areas of paralegal studies and substantive law while studying this
comprehensive text. All of the basic areas of paralegal studies are covered in
this book such as careers, ethics, professional responsibilities, pretrial
preparation, trial procedures, criminal law, legal interviewing, investigation,
legal research, computer-assisted legal research, legal analysis, and legal
writing.
