Introduction to Paralegal Studies utilizes a storytelling approach that provides a context in which students can assimilate and organize new concepts. The student is taken from the introduction to the client to the final collection of the judgment in the chronology that would normally occur in litigation. The text explores practical considerations such as docketing timelines, office politics, setting up and organizing files, timekeeping, and asset assessment. Strategic decisions are also explored as they arise naturally in the discovery process, motion practice, trial, and judgment collection. The text contains a number of entertaining forums in which to practice legal terminology and integrate legal concepts, such as "A Trip To The Movies" which provides questions related to popular law-related movies.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Paralegal Studies: A Practical Approach (The West Legal Studies Series) (Paperback)
Love this textbook, better than ones I've gotten from school. I ordered it because I had been out of the legal field for two years and this book helped me gain my confidence back. It provides mini quizzes with answers in the back of the book.
