A little outdated but helpful Trinimap This book was a little outdated but it served the purpose. It provided me with basic information about being a Legal Assistant. I walked into a Legal Receptionist/Assistant job and needed something for guidance on basic legal assistant protocol. This was helpful since I was job sharing and no one to train me on basic legal office procedures.. Now this helped with my class. Amazon Customer This book saved my summer!!! As well it was delivered on time and in great almost new condition. I say almost because the exercises at the end of the chapter were already completed.
