This book is a reference manual dealing with being a Litigation Paralegal as of its date, 1988. The book's exterior has lightly worn marks on all four corners and at the base of its spine and a lightly worn spot on its rear cover. The interior book has a very small reddish stain inside the front cover, but outside of that small detriment, it has no further visible extraneous markings, detriments or distractions throughout the volume and thus all of its printing and illustrations are all in a very well-preserved condition and the book's sewn-in bindings remain tight and therefore are sound. If you order this very detailed and instructional legal volume from us, it will be carefully wrapped up in foam or bubble wrap, then padded and boxed and mailed right away to you with both tracking and insurance on it and it will come with our genuine appreciation for your order.
