This book is light on content. If you are looking for a short, introductory overview of what it means to be a paralegal, this book is for you. If you actually want to take the exam, you may have to buy another guide to help you, though. I'm not sure that someone who used this book would actually be able to pass the NALA and NFPA exams with the content here.
Very informative. Will definitely re-visit as reference. Great read for any senior paralegals seeking a refresher, and new/junior paralegals who want to be more knowledgeable or find their niche in the field.
