Accusantium velit consequuntur dolor. Quis consequatur accusamus. Provident facere ullam inventore quis exercitationem rem.

[Heather Wise · Rating 5 out of 5]

A complete and comprehensive book about paralegalism for someone entering the career path for the first time.
It’s dense and detailed but a great support for understanding both the higher level job description and duties as well as the details and minutia involved in the career choice.

Comprehensive and jam packed with information. I’m sure I will use this as a reference going forward.

This was the primary textbook in my Paralegal Certificate course, which I took through the BARBRI Center for Legal Studies. Extremely informative.

[Christy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very well written. Concise and yet detailed. This to me was the "bible" of my course.
