The only part I've looked at is the questions at the end of each chapter. Fabulous!

I have nothing to compare this to, so I have no idea how to rate it. If I hadn’t been taking a class while reading this, it probably would have terrified me. Also, a lot of the formatting is going to be moot since you’ll have to conform to the formatting of your particular state, unless maybe you go into immigration law or something else that has a lot of federal cases. Still, there are TONS of resources on how to obtain information – whereabouts, documents, etc. And there are a lot of examples of letters, motions, notices, interviews, etc. A list of websites and other sources for finding testifying experts comes to mind as a good potential future resource, for example. My professor supplemented the book with state-specific info, training in Westlaw and Lexis, and had a paralegal come in to tell us about e-filing, calendaring, and what responsibilities usually lie with the paralegal as opposed to the attorney. Seemed like a pretty decent textbook, though, with clear language and good structure.
