I had to buy this book as part of a college course curriculum.

This was an informative and well written book which was also easy to read and follow. I can't stand boring complicated college books so this one was a welcome change. It really helped to break down the litigation process and defined many terms and uncomplicated some things that would have been quite difficult otherwise.

I'd definitely recommend it to anyone just wanting to know more about litigation, especially those who don't want to be bogged down with technical legal jargon which is hard for most people to understand.

".....THIS FOURTH EDITION IS SUITED TO SEVERAL TYPES of students.
These include the traditional college classroom student, the student learning through a virtual course, and the paralegal being trained in the law office as a litigation paralegal....."
[from the book of the preface by James W. H. McCord]

THE LITIGATION PARALEGAL is a complete textbook for anyone interested in pursuing a career as a paralegal. This book focuses on litigation and a paralegal's role in the process.

Some observations on the book:

The exhibits were very beneficial.

Appendix B- The Substantive Law of Torts, Appendix C- The Substantive Law of Contracts are good primer material.

Appendix D- A Mini-Guide for Interpreting Medical Records was something I didn't expect to find. I found that to be really helpful.

The Paralegal Handbook at the front of the book was another good inclusion.

Mr. McCord provides detailed step-by-step instruction on the litigation process.

Also included are a short Glossary and Index.

This book is a comprehensive textbook. Organized and written very well. I highly recommend the book to students or those interested in the litigation process as every-day citizens.

This book was brand new, so of course it was in perfect condition. What impressed me more was the careful packaging, quick shipping, and great price. I paid a third of the price for this brand new book then the school bookstore wanted to charge me for a used book!

This book is very helpful, even though there's a lot of reading. It describes in detail about complaints; how to investigate, draft and submit one. Definitely a must have for Advanced Lit.!

Wonderful book;The Litigation Paralegal 5th (fifth) edition Text Only it has practical guides on what elements are needed in a cause of action, and how to draft a complaint.
This book has all the legal terminology you'll need in the area of Law. I have been selling books back to Amazon, but might actually keep this one!

Book was in great condition! No pages were missing and no excessive markings were found in the book. Well kept!

I am surprised that this book has such a high rating. I found it very hard to follow, the chapters are endless making weekly reading assignments unbearable.

The book arrived on time, it was in the condition as promised, and I am fully satisfied with the whole process.

Old edition, used textbook was extremely marked up and had warped covers - more than I expected for used fair. However, the content was still very relevant with lots of examples of legal documents, forms, relevant law, and litigation court procedures and processes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
