Introduction to Paralegal Studies: A
Critical Thinking Approach frames concepts and practice within the
authors’ trademark design for learning that fosters critical thinking
and analysis. This comprehensive, intelligent text offers an
introduction to law and legal concepts combined with practical
information about what paralegals actually do in the legal system. A
critical thinking approach is used to introduce students to the study
of law, encouraging them to interact with the materials through
hypotheticals, examples, and discussion questions.
New to the Seventh Edition:
- Several organizational changes make the book even easier to use:
- Criminal
Law and Procedure was split into two chapter. This change made the
chapters more manageable for students to read and understand.
- The
authors made it easier to compare and contrast Criminal Law and
Criminal Procedure with Civil Litigation and Torts by grouping these
chapters together. This also provides a more natural flow to the topics
that follow in the chapter on Specialized Practice Areas.
- Thorough
updates throughout with new and expanded topics and discussions of
recent court decisions. Includes changes that have occurred in the
legal profession due to COVID-19.
- New Legal Reasoning exercises, Discussion Questions, Review Questions, and updated the Web Exercises.
- Enhanced section on executive power
