Roper takes a practical approach to law office management. "Checklists," "How to" features and quotes from practicing paralegals emphasize the " self-management" style of the text. Clear explanations and many illustrations further reinforce chapter material. "Know Your Ethics" sections offer hypothetical scenarios that pose ethical dilemmas for students to consider. A computer emphasis provides clear coverage of computers and law office management software programs reinforced by hands-on exercise.
