More about Concise Guide to Paralegal Ethics, this Sixth Edition of Cannon and Taylor Aytch’s highly successful textbook provides brief coverage of ethical principles from the perspective of the practicing paralegal. This book is written for paralegal students, working paralegals, and lawyers who use their services. The clearly written text, enhanced by readable pedagogy, provides up-to-date coverage of all the major areas of legal ethics, placing special emphasis on how the rules affect paralegals. Each chapter begins with an overview, followed by clear textual explanations in a well-organized format. Key terms are introduced in italics.

More about Law Office Management for Paralegals, the Fourth Edition is a comprehensive introduction to law office management, emphasizing ethics, law office culture, law office systems, and “soft skills,” such as communications and critical thinking. Assignments are drawn from real-world law office management situations and supported by innovative visual aids and learning tools. Students get hands-on practice with timekeeping, conflicts-checking, file management, trust accounting, business planning, correspondence, and much more. They are exposed to law office software, such as Clio, and learn to perform vital functions using other software and even freeware. Career profiles emphasize the importance of involvement in professional organizations, advancement in the legal field without obtaining a law degree, and that the legal profession is populated by men and women of all ages and backgrounds.
