Paralegal Practice Volume 1: Complete College-Level Course (Paralegal Practice: Complete College-Level Course)

Book Synopsis: BIG NEWS! On June 11, 2023 we made our popular Paralegal Practice course available to the general public as a three volume set of books at extremely affordable pricing. With these books you can enter into the high-paying legal field as a truly competent and professional paralegal, often with more knowledge under your belt than some first year lawyers! Welcome to class. This three volume book set is the equivalent of a two year college course, and is by no means just an orientation or a set of guidelines. Our trainees have taken positions with law offices with more practical knowledge and capabilities than first year lawyers, and we’ve received letters from law firms to that effect. This course is in fact used by colleges and universities, for which tuition ranging from $2,000 to $20,000 are charged, and we’ve simply distilled all course material into these easy-to-use self-teaching volumes. You can acquire them one at a time, or as a set.

Let’s get right to your questions.

How much money do paralegal/legal assistants make? Here’s a summary breakdown from the latest Department of Labor statistics:

• Federal government $69,680
• Finance and insurance $64,740
• Local government, excluding education and hospitals $58,300
• State government, excluding education and hospitals $49,350
• General legal services $48,270

Are these skills in demand? More than ever, and not by just law firms, but by every business, industry and tech sector in the US which requires at least some in-house legal expertise.

What will I learn? This is a comprehensive course, with all the complexities you might expect when it comes to US Law. Don't let that intimidate you, if in fact it does. It covers the fundaments of law, the specialties, the reasoning, pleadings, citations, services, and the most fun of all, the cases. In addition, students of the course have easily passed NALA Certification.

It expands your knowledge in a comfortable and step-by-step way, utilizing a hands-on research-based system innovated by the author. Have a look inside at the Table of Contents to see just how extensive the curriculum really is.

When you complete it, you'll be in possession of more knowledge than you can believe, and you'll be well-prepared for any career covered by the scope of this course: paralegal, legal clerk, legal secretary, legal transcriptionist, etc.

Study parameters. You can study at home in your spare time and at your pace, and if you dedicated 6-10 hours per week to study, you’d be through it in a matter of weeks, and it is a self-assessment system, meaning you take quizzes and grade them yourself, all from within the books.

Another beauty of this system is that you can also just pick from it what you might need to learn to add to your knowledgebase in any career capacity that requires some background in law. And you might be surprised at how valuable an employee or contractor can be when they have practical legal knowledge under their belt.

Your new career as a paralegal is here and at your fingertips. If this is your next step, you can’t go wrong with our Career Shift Paralegal Practice books.
