The paralegal profession has come a long way since the days when there wasn’t even agreement on what to call individuals who performed legal support work. This book will help paralegal professors design a rigorous, topical, demanding course that will prepare students to enter the paralegal profession with confidence and acumen.
The book and its accompanying test bank, assignments, discussion questions, and ethical sidebars introduces students to the American legal system and gets them to think legally with discipline and reason, to understand how lawyers operate and why, and grooms them to become contributing members of legal teams. Topics covered are legal philosophies and history; the Constitution; state and federal law; civil and common law; the rules of procedure and evidence; and the trial process.
