2.0 out of 5 stars Review of Paralegal Practice and Procedure: A Practical Guid, January 21, 2002

Ebony D. Watts "sunfloweruva" (Rockville, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Paralegal Practice & Procedure: A Practical Guide for the Legal Assistant (Paperback)

As an individual who was very new to the paralegal profession, I found that the book was only minimally beneficial in that many of the explanations and legal terms were not clearly defined or explained...It definitely left me feeling like I needed help from other sources...

Paralegal (New York, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paralegal Practice & Procedure: A Practical Guide for the Legal Assistant (Paperback)

Everything in this book is too general to be of any practical value, especially if litigation is not your practice area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Needed Excelelnt Reference Guide, Got It, June 11, 2002

Omni - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paralegal Practice & Procedure: A Practical Guide for the Legal Assistant (Paperback)

In order to exapand my skill set I needed a book that gave me an overview of multiple areas of paralegal work. Sometimes I would get called for something they would say do you do estates wills and trusts or corporate derivatives? And while my experience may've lent to it, unless you've done something for years and years its hard to jump right into a conversation about it. Not so with this book at your fingertips. Gives you excellent outline of an assortment of areas.
Am I advocating getting this book and diving in? Yes, whatever your field you should have another field that you're actively involved in learning and creating as a branch from your main interest. I started in graphic design, did so many presentations that I got into finance and worked on so much legal stuff that I got into taxation and legal work. It is my plan to go onto law school just for the pure learning but with books like this and a solid commitment to learning you can get someone, a firm an attorney to sponsor you and go take the Bar. yes, it's that good.

My only wish is that I had ordered it from here but I needed it quick, fast and in a hurry so I bought it from a store.
