Paralegal Career For Dummies

I’ve had this book for a few years, and it’s still one of my favorite references for paralegal work. The explanations are clear and easy to understand, even for someone without a legal background, and it covers a wide range of topics from research to office procedures. I particularly appreciate the practical tips and real-world examples, which made my internship and early work in legal offices much easier. It’s the kind of book I keep on my shelf and return to whenever I need a quick refresher or guidance. Highly recommend it for students, interns, or anyone starting a paralegal career.

This is sold in the U.K. site but is for US law. Still going to keep it as it’s still interesting but U.K. customers should be made aware of this.

The font choice makes the book incredibly difficult to read. It looks like half of the letters are cut off and it really slows you down while you try to figure out what the word is meant to be.

I'm annoyed that this book is for the American legal system, yet is selling on Amazon.ca and pops under the search "Canadian paralegal books".

I'm taking a paralegal certificate course and this is one of the required texts. At first, I was skeptical that they'd use a "Dummies" text! But this is well written and easily understood as well as being comprehensive. But it doesn't make you feel like a dummy, which I appreciate, because I'm an intelligent person and a perfectionist! This breaks everything down logically and is a great addition to any paralegal or legal assistant's library.
