Reviews"I love the comprehensive case studies! This is one of my favorite things about the book! It's a great hands-on method of teaching research. I believe the author has done it in both an engaging and straightforward manner that students will find appealing." - Sonia Toson, Kennesaw State University, Atlanta, GA "The practical problems are an appropriate inclusion in this text. They help to affirm the broad range of tasks assigned to paralegals and the dedication to detail that paralegals must have in the real world." - Deborah Hoffman, Columbus State Community College, Columbus, OH "My community college students could very easily understand this work. The writing level for my students is great! Not too easy but not too difficult." - Lisa Robinson, Central Carolina Community College, Raleigh, NC "I love the smoothness and the quality of writing. I teach at the vocational associate and bachelor level and feel that the book would and could raise the bar (that I love) but at the same time needs to accommodate the current needs and level of the quality of the student." - Carina Aguirre, Everest College and Platt College, Fontana, CA "I think it is perfect for paralegal students. The author really has a feel for what students know, as well as what they need to know, and he writes in a style and at a level that will engage the students and make them want to read the chapter materials." - Steve Dayton, Fullerton College, Whittier, CA , "I love the comprehensive case studies!
