This review is from: Law Office Skills (West Legal Studies Series) (Paperback)
A very comprehensive book for beginners but it is not very helpful to the seasoned legal secretary. The book was in excellent shape when I received it. I would highly recommend this seller to others.

Book came in great condition. No missing pages and the information is complete and easy to understand. I love that is so small. I don't really like the big textbooks; makes it harder to transport. I really like paper back books.

Recommended for all new Legal Secretaries,

This review is from: Law Office Skills (West Legal Studies Series) (Paperback)
If you have never been a legal secretary and want to go above and beyond, I would recommend this book. It gives you a great overview of what to expect in working in a law office, how to manage your time efficiently, and how to be a great secretary.
It is not, however, all that useful for your experienced secretary.
