Law is not learned in isolation, but through application. New examples and realistic hypotheticals in each chapter of Introduction to Law for Paralegals, Sixth Edition, by Neal R. Bevans, illustrate legal principles as applied in practice. Excerpts from recent cases reflect the current law and issues that students will encounter as paralegals. Questions About the Case develop students' critical thinking skills.  And while the law remains rooted in principles, legal practice continues to evolve. Today's legal profession requires both critical thinking skills and competence in technology. The thoroughly revised sixth edition fosters both.
