Working as a successful paralegal for either a law firm, a paralegal firm, the government, or private industry, requires an individual to possess many skills, not the least of which is the ability to use a variety of software programs to properly draft, create, and format documentation.

Computer Applications for Paralegals introduces students to many of the software programs of the MS Office Suite and acts as a guide through the proper use of each program to generate accurate, ready-for-delivery documentation.

• The text sets out a fictional paralegal firm with partners and employees. Students simulate how they will interact with others in the firm through documentation prepared in the exercises and examples in the text.
• The main content of each chapter is a hands-on demonstration of one of the software programs that comprise MS Office Suite. There are a multitude of graphics students can use to mimic the demonstration. The goal is that each student will follow the given instructions and work alongside the demonstration to generate the exact document created in the text.
• Each chapter contains a link to video training in case the student requires additional instruction on a certain topic.
