Editorial Reviews

Review
I found the organization of the text to be excellent. I particularly like the order in which the author has presented the material. The author has provided an exceptional overview of the profession of a paralegal; the ethics, the responsibilities and regulation of the profession. This is well done.

The information Statsky compiles in this text creates a thorough foundation for the introductory paralegal student. It is a wonderful reference for students throughout the entire paralegal program, and a text the students will want to refer to when they transition from students to working paralegals --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful text and reference, August 16, 2006

By	K G R "K G R" (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Introduction to Paralegalism: Perspectives, Problems, and Skills, 6E (West Legal Studies Series) (Hardcover)

I use this book as the textbook in an Intro to Law for Paralegals class that I teach. The books is incredibly well-organized and useful. There are very few typos, and additionally it contains great references at the end of each chapter. While I think the book is designed for the classroom setting, it can also be used for self-teaching as well. Even after the class is over students can use the book as a reference guide.

This book is a must for those considering a paralegal career. The book is very detailed, with good examples and offers several excercises. You'll want to keep this book when the semester ends; no need to do a re-sale on this item.
