The Most Interesting Textbook I've Ever Read

This textbook is power-packed with useful information. Whether the reader is a paralegal, legal assistant, or just the curious type, s/he will have a hard time putting it down. It is stuffed with caselaw used to highlight specific lessons and "Not Quite Lincoln" passages that depict extreme examples of ethical mishaps in the field of law. The opening two chapters are an extensive introduction into legal ethics. The chapters on the "Unauthorized Practice of Law" and "Fees and Fee Sharing" were immensely helpful in answering questions I've had since I began my education in Paralegal Studies. This textbook is written with an entertaining flair and style not often used in college textbooks--making it much easier to read and retain. The study of legal ethics showcases attorneys (and sometimes their staff) at their very worst and Kent Kauffman does an outstanding job using their professional blunders to inform the reader of just what and what not to do. The only thing better than reading his book, is taking his class (where you'll have to read the book anyway). BUY THIS BOOK!
