About this title

About the Author:

J. Stanley Edwards has been an Arizona attorney since 1975. Although he started out as a patent attorney, he has been a general practitioner for all but two of those years. He co-authored five textbooks on paralegal studies with his late wife, Dr. Linda Edwards. He was a judge pro tem in the civil division of the Maricopa County Superior Court and what is now the Family Court. Additionally, he is a certified arbitrator in the District Court of Arizona. He has also practiced before the 9th Circuit Court of appeals and is an inactive member of the State Bar of Colorado.

A litigation associate at Snell & Wilmer before becoming a trial attorney for the E.E.O.C., Trisha has been in private practice since 1999, and has served as a judge pro tem for the Maricopa County Justice Courts and for the City of Phoenix Municipal Court. As an adjunct instructor at Phoenix College since 1999, Trisha has taught the tort law class from prior editions of Tort Law.

Review:

"The supplements from Cengage for this text were impressive. This was one of the reasons this text was adopted. Other publishers and authors didn't provide supplements surprisingly enough but Cengage comes through in a big way when it comes to supplements for this text! The case studies are spot on for learning a subject such as Torts and these case studies hit home with the practical skills essential to becoming a successful and valuable paralegal. The variation of the cases was also pleasing from an instructor's point of view."

"The writing style is excellent and the level is appropriate; better than the competing texts. The concepts are explained clearly and with sufficient depth."
