Summary: Best book on paralegal careers I've ever read!
Review: Chere Estrin really knows this field! Here is an insightful, powerfully written book that gives solid advice to experienced and entry-level paralegals. I found the book to be direct, helpful and very funny! I actually laughed out loud in parts. The book spells out how to succeed in this field. It captures the nuances you need to know. It has checklists and creative forms that will help you on the job. It even has very interesting profiles of other paralegals. Chere Estrin can help you get ahead in your career. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Summary: Everything you ever wanted to know
Review: If there is only one book you buy on what it's like to be a paralegal, this would be it. She tells you everything you need to know. It's a good book for people who are considering the career, as well as providing information for the seasoned professional (i.e. alternative places to use paralegal skills, etc.)

Summary: PARALEGAL CAREER PATHS
Review: If you've ever had those middle of the night terrors wondering if you've made a mistake by choosing a paralegal career, you should pick up a copy of the Paralegal Career Guide. This book packs a lot of information about career pathways for paralegals. Written clearly, this book is chock full of information covering trends, career options, how to create value, salary negotiations, tips on getting along with co-workers, and other career resources. There is practical advice on topics such as job sharing to deciding whether or not to temp. The chapter I'm now focusing on - "Paralegal Careers in the New Millennium" - provides more far more career options for paralegals than anything I've ever seen. One comes away from the book with a sense of what's possible with a paralegal background. Ms. Estrin has provided a list of valuable resources at the end of the book. It includes staffing agencies, online resources, relevant books and periodicals and even a "Systems, Services, and Software Guide." After reading this book, I would issue this label: Caution: Reading this book will make you giddy with optimism.

Summary: Written to assist you up an invisible career ladder
Review: When I first wrote the Paralegal Career Guide, I had no idea thousands and thousands of paralegals and paralegal students would be reading it. Since that time, I have conducted many, many seminars and training sessions to assist paralegals in moving up an invisible career ladder. Once paralegals realize that they're "never going to make partner" they tend to look for a vertical climb up the ladder. Sometimes it's there and other times there is a need to identify a horizontal expansion instead. The book is based upon interviews with others and first-hand experience. It tells you how to deal with attorneys, colleagues and supervisors. It spots trends and gives you ideas as to how to be creative in your job. And, I am now in the midst of writing The Paralegal Career Guide Third Edition. Thanks, everyone for your continued and valued support.
