Product Description
This is an excellent reference book for novice paralegals who will provide support in the practice of personal injury law. It spells out tort law principles in an easy-to-comprehend manner and teaches the skills needed for the legal assistant to achieve success in this area. The authors have employed a number of effective teaching techniques, including Practice Pointers that introduce students to such practical skills as drafting pleadings, preparing medical authorization requests, documenting damages, writing FOIA letters, and assembling trial exhibits. In this edition, particular attention has been paid to the increasing use of the Internet in legal organizations. Net News lists a wide variety of relevant legal Web sites, and Internet Inquiries encourage students to search the Internet for information related to tort law.

Interesting book, 2008-10-03
Interesting because the author writes many interesting and funny hypotheticals.
It's a great book for those interested in torts.
In my case, it's a book assigned to me by my professor so I really have no choice :).

Tort Law for Legal Assistants, 2000-05-22
Tort Law for Legal Assistants is a must for any civil litigation paralegal. I selected it based upon its table of contents, and it delivers. It is a clear, concise overview of tort law that provides reasoning, theories, relationships, elements, effects, limitations, applications, and much more. I wish I had known about this book during my paralegal training classes. At least I have it now as a review tool and reference guide for assignments as a paralegal.
