Review of Paralegal Career For Dummies (For Dummies (Career/Education)) (Paperback)

This book says it all!I have been instructing paralegal courses for fifteen years, and have seen and used many texts.This one is by far one of the best, if not the best!It clearly and concisely covers pretty much everything a paralegal should know in an easy to understand format. The CD included with the book contains samples of documents and references to many, many important resources.I would highly recommend it for practicing paralegals, as well as anyone interested in the field of paralegalism!While the book is not a substitute for formal education, it goes a long way towards filling in the gaps in education for paralegals trained "in-house," as well as for those who have completed (or plan to complete) a paralegal program.
