After providing an introduction to paralegal work and the American legal system, Currier (business and law, Elms College) and Eimermann (Illinois State U.) explain what paralegals need to know about finding and interpreting statutory law and court opinions, applying the law, legal ethics, and business, contract, property, estate, family, and criminal law. The text incorporates cases and hypothetical situations and includes excerpts from the Constitution, information on the basics of writing and citation form, and ethical codes. The new edition has revised chapters on ethics and legal research, updated internet references and sentencing guidelines, more about recklessness and about the Americans with Disabilities Act, and new topics such as eminent domain issues, hate crimes, affirmative action, capital punishment, employment discrimination, the insanity defense, and same-sex marriage.
