4.0 out of 5 stars Good book - well written, January 9, 2007

By	Dacia Gulledge "Amazon Addict" (Birmingham, AL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: LITIGATION PARALEGAL 4E (The West Legal Studies Series) (Hardcover)

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.
