Publisher's Synopsis
Practical Contract Law for Paralegals: An Activities-Based Approach fully engages students with numerous assignments that make them responsible for finding local law. Focused on teaching practical skills, such as using the Internet for research, the text includes hands-on assignments. These ensure that the even those students using the book in an on-line course will learn how to research and apply the law. The text helps students “hit the ground running” in the law office by building research skills as well as the ability to summarize cases and find their own answers.
Case-discussion assignments encourage interaction with the material beyond classroom lecture, and ethical issues are integrated throughout the book. Assignments are designed to be used with state-specific law and procedures. The flexible organization makes the book easy to adapt to a variety of course configurations, including those on-line. An excellent Instructor’s Manual draws on the author’s extensive experience teaching paralegal students, with features such as sample syllabi, information for using on-line research, additional assignments, answer keys for all discussion questions and CALR assignments, and a test bank. PowerPoint slides also accompany the book.
The Third Edition features updated assignments and examples, new review questions, and a new Career Corner feature to bring the material to life.
