This book is/was needed for class. The content and format of the book is very well written. I highly recommend this book to those looking to enter into the legal profession as well as those who are mildly interested in how the legal profession works.

This review is from: Ethics and Professional Responsibility for Paralegals (Paperback)
Although book was used, it looked as good as new. There were no markings, highlights, or anything. Originally told would take 7-14 days to receive the book, but had the book in less than 7 which was right on time.
