Paralegal Success: Going from Good to Great in the New Century Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bogen's book is the type of book I searched for when I got started in the legal field 10+ years ago. I have worked for the County District Attorney and civil law firms (small, medium and large) so my focus is litigation. However, Bogen's book focuses on the paralegal and not the practice area so it is relevant for everyone. I found reinforcement for ideas I had already developed, plus I picked up some new tips or outlooks on areas that are common in the legal field. This is a book that will help both new and experienced paralegals.

Legal Research, Analysis, and Writing: An Integrated Approach (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)LEGAL RESEARCH, ANALYSIS, AND WRITING provides everything you need to learn in order to successfully research and analyze law.
"How to write a Case Brief" gives instructions on how to write one of the most important documents in the legal field.
One of the fundamentals that the authors stress in the book is preparation. Preparation can cut down on costs and make the research process shorter and more effective.
Case Projects and Research Assignments and Activities are essential exercises to educate the reader.
Some other features that are particularly helpful for me:
*The Figures showing pages from codebooks, websites, and books for research. This shows the reader what theses sources look like. The page layout, diagrams, and labels break down each figure making it easier to navigate the source in the pictures.
* A Point to Remember are assorted, helpful tips scattered throughout the book.
*Appendix B - a basic Citation Reference Guide. Also references to citation rules from The Bluebook.
This book provides very detailed information about citing cases, analyzing legal issues, and research using both on-line and print resources.
Legal writing is addressed with suggestions on how to start the writing process, the difference in types of documents and how they differ in style or content.
Two words that sum up this edition for me are Detailed and Professional. I'm keeping my copy so that I can refer back to it when I need to.
