Extremely Disappointed: Book Not in “Very Good” Condition as Advertised

I just received my book, which was supposed to be in “Very Good” condition. It was not. The book was filled with highlighting and notes all over the pages and many of the top pages were dog-eared. I was lied to and i don’t intend to do business with this seller ever again.

Did not include the workbook as stated

I am not happy. This book did not come with the workbook!!

perfect

The book is brand new and in perfect condition. It came with the workbook too.

Top-Notch Textbook

THE LITIGATION PARALEGAL is a complete textbook for anyone interested in pursuing a career as a paralegal. This book focuses on litigation and a paralegal's role in the process. Some observations on the book: The exhibits were very beneficial. Appendix B- The Substantive Law of Torts, Appendix C- The Substantive Law of Contracts are good primer material. Appendix D- A Mini-Guide for Interpreting Medical Records was something I didn't expect to find. I found that to be really helpful. The Paralegal Handbook at the front of the book was another good inclusion. Mr. McCord provides detailed step-by-step instruction on the litigation process. Also included are a short Glossary and Index. This book is a comprehensive textbook. Organized and written very well. I highly recommend the book to students or those interested in the litigation process as every-day citizens.

Excellent Book

This book is everthing that it was supposed to be. Thank You for being a great seller!

[from the book of the preface by James W. H. McCord]

Good book - well written

I had to buy this book as part of a college course curriculum. This was an informative and well written book which was also easy to read and follow. I can't stand boring complicated college books so this one was a welcome change. It really helped to break down the litigation process and defined many terms and uncomplicated some things that would have been quite difficult otherwise. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone just wanting to know more about litigation, especially those who don't want to be bogged down with technical legal jargon which is hard for most people to understand.
