4.0 out of 5 stars Like all West's Nutshells, you really can't go wrong, August 10, 2009
By Asradel "Az" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book to give me a refresher to take a certification exam as a paralegal. It gave me all that and then some. I highly recommend this to any law school or paralegal school student who needs a good, thorough overview of the legal research process and resources.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too small, September 19, 2005
The book is useful, but it's too small. I didn't see a size listed. This book is only 7"by 5". It makes the exhibits nearly impossible to read without a magnifying glass.
