This book is completely laid out in detail start to finish. everything you need. just like the outline shows. I am using this to study for the LARE. and Im shocked that this isnt listed as a resource book. nor was it used in my professional practice class at university. I would highly recommend it to students and emerging professionals wanting to round-out their understanding of the LA profession and the legal side of the office. as well professionals wanting to start your own business. So much content. great book for the money.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

Although I found everything in this book inspirational and a formidable guide to follow. It should be updated to 2010+ changes and in colour.
