This book is very useful for anyone who is interested in becoming a legal secretary. Not only does it cover all of the various legal documents that are prepared in a law office, but it also explains calendaring, telephone skills and billing systems. In addition, there are chapters on legal research and getting a job. This is a very thorough book and I highly recommend it!

These are just a few of the reasons students studying to become a legal secretary or paralegal continue to rave about this book.

1. It provides up-to-date procedures from the top legal firms represented.

2. It is organized in an easy-to-follow manner.

3. The author provides relevant samples that guide the student to successful completion of the end-of-chapter hands on exercises.

4. The pictures in the book show how professionally groomed people are who work in most legal offices.

5. Students say, "Dr. Morton really knows how to make difficult concepts understandable."

6. The book is ACCURATE.

7. The student files are perfect.

8. This book is written with the student in mind. It is written to help students gain confidence in their skills, and it allows ambitious students to build the speed and accuracy necessary to compete in today's legal offices. Entry level students build their skills and sometimes create the documents more than once to show their speed and accuracy have improved.

9. This book is perfect for the classroom, online, or self-study.

10. The instructor's materials are organized, clearly written, and correct.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is interesting, and helped me a lot when it came to my studies. It is something every office worker should have.

This average book for the most part is good to use as a general reference. It is somewhat outdated and it uses California law for most of its examples so if you live in another state, you'll need to find out what the law is in YOUR state. The best parts of the book are the practice exercises at the end of each chapter in which you use the disk provided. This gives "hands-on" experience.

I received the book in a timely manner. Being that it was needed for class I was amazed at how fast it came! The price was good too.

The book ordered from Amazon came with 7" long a cut across its face that nearly went through the cover. I think someone is selling seconds as new. Since it is needed and only paperback, its not woth returning to Amazon.

It's an OK book, the author should try to stick to one field of law. The Author should make it into a series, since it has Criminal, Civil, Wills & Trusts, Family Law, etc., I haven't (have not) finished reading the entire book. The Author should be more thorough when writing about "point and authorities." The Author should discribe how to fix the brackets plus the number magins to left and right.
