Review
�The examples and exhibits in this text are excellent. They are not only excellent teaching tools, but good references for working paralegals.� �Discovery – The chapters on the discovery process are some of the best I have read. They are the best chapters in this text.� �Paralegal Handbook – This is a great introduction, not only to the study of litigation but to what it means to be a paralegal. Many of my students in their first semester want to work in the law but do not really know what a paralegal can do. This is a good resource for them.�
�The McCord text is superior in its logical organization and grouping of topics. It has a concise writing style and wealth of examples and exhibits.�
