Book Description
An Introduction to Paralegal Studies is a concise, easy-to-read book that provides basic coverage of the topics most important for a beginning paralegal student. It is aimed primarily at mid-level courses, but is an excellent choice for an introductory course in any paralegal program. This text is unique from other introductory texts in two important ways. The first is that paralegal skills are taught in the context of a single fictional case, Smith v. Lemon Motors. Students learn the skills necessary to prepare the Smith case for trial in a step-by-step, easy to follow format. The second is in the substantive law and the legal ethics chapters where general rules and principles of law are illustrated with actual cases. These cases also provide an opportunity to develop the important skill of reading case law.

Excellent primer for teaching legal nurse consultants.......2002-03-01
I used this text to teach my class--they loved it & so did I! Cynthia Weishapple has written a user-friendly introduction text that is highly readable & hits the high points--I would highly recommend it to those new to the field!
Book Description
Introduction to Paralegal Studies & the Law: A Theoretical Approach contains a unique storyline format that takes a pragmatic approach to explaining the legal process and procedures. It emphasizes the day-to-day tasks of the paralegal and identifies skills that must be acquired for success. The reader is treated like someone apprenticing in a law firm by being led through the events of litigation and exposed to the strategical and practical considerations that go into litigants' decisions. This book is closely aligned with and based upon Introduction to Paralegal Studies: A Practical Approach. However, unlike its counterpart, it incorporates additional chapters to include the introduction of substantive law.

Legal Assistant Overview.......2007-03-28
Excellant book as an introduction to the legal system. I will be starting legal assistant studies this summer and I used this book to get me ready.
Book Description
Never HIGHLIGHT a Book Again! Virtually all testable terms, concepts, persons, places, and events are included.look no further for study resources or reference material. Cram101 Textbook Outlines gives all of the outlines, highlights, notes, and practice-tests for your textbook. Only Cram101 is Textbook Specific. Cram101 is NOT the Textbook.

My review of the Cram101 version.......2007-05-13
I am not too impressed with this publication. The actual textbook, Intro to Paralegalism by Statsky, is an extremely detailed textbook of terms, concepts, and processes around the paralegal career, and this Cram101 edition is nothing more than strings of terms and their definitions that coincide with each of the textbook's chapters. Indeed, some of the term lists associated with each chapter repeat terms from previous ones so there's nothing new to learn. Perhaps the Cram101 editions for other textbooks are more helpful. I didn't find this one useful at all.
What the heck?.......2007-05-08
This was a complete waste of money....I had to return it. It is a 10 page booklet with a few legal terms with blank lines next to the term. I can buy a dictionary and be happier. I was completly unsatisfied with this product. Dont waste your money, you are better off buying a note pad.

Truly Excellent Source Book for Paralegals.......2007-05-30
I don't understand the negative reviews of this book. I think the reviewers confused it with another book. This is a big solid book full of information for paralegals and paralegal students. We used this book in three different classes at WOLI (Washington Online Learning Institute) where I attended paralegal school. We used it in the intro class, where we learned all about the paralegal profession, the legal research class, which we used in conjunction with learning how to do legal research via the computer on Westlaw, and also in the ethics course. I know WOLI uses this book also for some other courses that I did not take, but other students do. I think this book is very well written and is chock full of interesting and useful information. I recommend it highly. I really enjoyed studying from this book, and now as a working paralegal (litigation and trial prep work at a Manhattan law firm; I also worked in the corporate dept. for a few months) this book has a prominent place on my library shelf and I still pick it up and read it quite frequently. A very good book.
A students perspective..........2007-02-11
The book is a wonderful source of information and is organized in such a way that it's easy to read right through and not feel lost by lack of verbal explanations. But, the font size is very small which makes it difficult to study or read for extended periods withough resting your eyes. It's also thick and very heavy. We use this book in our Paralegal class at George Mason University.
Useful text and reference.......2006-08-17
I use this book as the textbook in an Intro to Law for Paralegals class that I teach. The books is incredibly well-organized and useful. There are very few typos, and additionally it contains great references at the end of each chapter. While I think the book is designed for the classroom setting, it can also be used for self-teaching as well. Even after the class is over students can use the book as a reference guide.
Excellent Resource Guide.......2000-01-17
This book is an excellent text for indivdiuals wishing to study the paralegal profession or the legal system in general. I would highly recommend it to any of my peers in the legal community.
