COMMUNICATION IS KEY: Legal employers place a priority on a candidate's ability to communicate effectively across a variety of platforms. Included in every chapter, Communication is Key features provide practical examples that show new legal professionals how to navigate the legal field. Features include ethical considerations for updating law firm social media and websites, verbal communication with clients and examples effectively demonstrating the paralegal's role in business communications.
ACCESS TO JUSTICE: In every chapter, Access to Justice features illustrate how the legal field is moving toward an accessible and inclusive approach to legal representation. Features include the use of legal technicians to increase client representation, accuracy in legal advertising and opportunities for paralegal volunteer legal work.
REAL-WORLD APPLICATION: Dozens of real-life examples of lawyer and non-lawyer misbehaviors bring ethics rules to life, while current and classic case law helps students see how courts interpret and apply the ethics rules to lawyers and their non-lawyer employees.
ENGAGING STUDENTS: Each chapter features questions designed to challenge students with real-world scenarios, requiring them to analyze hypothetical situations that mirror current ethical considerations for paralegals, lawyers and support staff working in business and legal practice.
