I’m really digging into this book and appreciate the smooth writing, the references and the locations of websites and exercises in this book.
Most of the material is practical and valuable to the law student who wants to know what to expect in the real world. Since I’m IN the real world already, I can relate to a lot of examples relating to attorneys whose bad communication skills and dismal management styles make working in the legal field tough.
The book gives solutions to these problems in simple, easy to understand terms.
The CD that is with the book is not that useful, since the majority of the CD material is repeated in the back of each chapter.
Also, the number of spelling errors is enough to make me wonder about the editor and publisher, especially when a student is spending over a hundred bucks on this book! “Confidentiatilty” is a new word to me! [Should be "Confidentiality"].
Outside of these errors, not a badly written book. Recommend for the fifth edition that the editor go over the text with a fine-blue pencil!

This is a good book for any vocational or practical oriented program in paralegal or legal assistant studies. It contains lots of helpful hints, guidelines, and explanations of common areas for law office management. Very useful for learning the “how-to” of docket control, billing, file and records management, and general law office operations.
I have used this book in teaching paralegal students now at two institutions of higher education. I currently use it at the university level. The straight forward language, easy explanations, and practical guides to each item are very helpful for beginning through mid-level students.
