Very useful
You can't beat having a strong presence online, if you are a self-employed contracts kind of lawyer.This book helped me drum up decent business.Glad I got it.I only wish it came with more online examples.

interesting, for lawyers even much
Apart from introductory information it contains many interesting views, also from lawyers' own practice. These personal, short, "interviews" with real life persons make this book that interesting. Read more

Essential for Law Firms Considering Case Management Systems
To most lawyers and law firm administrators, selecting and implementing a computerized case management system is an intimidating and sometimes overwhelming task. Andy Adkins, the author of this book, has the technicalexpertise and writing ability to guide non-experts through the process withcommon sense--and a healthy dose of humor. He keeps the techno-babble to aminimum while educating the reader enough to understand how case managementworks and interacts with what is actually happening in a real law office.By the time the final page is turned, the reader will be surprised at howmuch has been learned and how much confidence gained. Non-experts tossedinto the computer world rarely read a technical book completely through.This valuable handbook is the exception. ... Read more

No Brainer
I searched for this book in bookstores and libraries to justify the expense.The only place I could locate it was the law library of the U I'm attending.After reading other reviews and sceptic that I am, I checked it out to see whether it is a worthwhileinvestment.Since I had already created a couple templates on my own without any training or advice whatsoever, I found nothing in this book to enhance what I already know, and concluded it is not a value for my situation; however, for someone with little technical skill or technical understanding it is.

Great for what it is; but is that enough?
On the one hand, it's an excellent introduction to HotDocs: clear, concise, easy to follow, and not boring.On the other hand, it merely scratches the surface of what HotDocs can do, and seems written more to the end-user than anyone who wants to develop templates with it, which is where the power of HotDocs can really shine.I've gone through it twice now, and while I appreciate what it does, it's also fairly limited: you're left feeling more conversant with HotDocs than you probably should be; because when you try to write templates, you won't know enough to.(For that, hook up with the tutorial that comes with the software or find a consultant or trainer).There's a GREAT section at the back of the book where Bruce Miller gives the new HotDocs user advice about how to approach automating his or her practice.But as many others have pointed out, weighing in at a mere 5 oz., this book, like sushi, is high priced by volume.For an hour of time to learn about the material, though, with someone like Miller who knows it, it's probably a good value.

Just an Introduction
This book is really good for just getting the most basic functions out of the way.However, don't expect to be able to do much more that the most basic functions, and, by all means, don't throw away your big manual.The price was exorbitant for such a thin book! ... Read more

Well done!
We offer PC training for legal professionals, and it's always been a job to construct legal-specific examples.Not any more.This book will save us hours of design time, is technically accurate, and has a lot of great downloads and samples available for those who adopt it. ... Read more

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is interesting, and helped me a lot when it came to my studies. It is something every office worker should have.

Review of Legal Office Procedures by Dr. Joyce Morton
These are just a few of the reasons students studying to become a legal secretary or paralegal continue to rave about this book. Average Rating
This average book for the most part is good to use as a general reference.It is somewhat outdated and it uses California law for most of its examples so if you live in another state, you'll need to find out what the law is in YOUR state.The best parts of the book are the practice exercises at the end of each chapter in which you use the disk provided.This gives "hands-on" experience. ...

Disappointing; a disk would have helped.
The book promises "everything you need to know".I wanted to know how to add line numbers to legal pleadings, to avoid the unusual MS Wizard which cannot print double spaced numbers at the left, and insteadprints linenumbers corresponding to the text (e.g., single spaced numberswhen text or even caption is single spaced).This book devotes 1.5 pagesto telling us to use the wizard, cautions that it cannot print the industrystandardized double spaced numbers, offers the absurd suggestion to doublespace all text to produce double spaced numbers, then suggests "manylaw firms use a text box" to avoid WORD's line numbering feature,refers the reader to Chapter 9, which informs the purchaser "pleadingtemplates require complex formatting for...line numbering" andsuggests borrowing a template from a lawfirm already using Word 97!Gee,that's why I spent $30.00 for the book.Other illustrations are similarlyempty of real instructional content.I see the book as a rehash of astandard MS handbook that simply substitutes "legal" for"word processing" or "typing" in the content.

Great info, great features discussed,diskette would enhanc
As a software instructor, I found this to be as clear as 1-2-3 with enough details to satisfy any level user.However, to be a complete learning tool a diskette with sample files to play with is needful.

A law office necessity for Word 97 users.
Having converted from WordPerfect, I was very frustrated with some of the automatic formatting features of Word 97.Other Word 97 books I have read were not helpful in solving these problems or in making preparation oflegal documents easier.That has all changed with this book.Within anhour of browsing through Word 97 for Law Firms, I found a number of veryhelpful suggestions in the tables, templates, and forms chapters.Even thelessons on the basics had new and helpful hints such as the pleadingtoolbar, auto text entries, and spiking text.I cannot say enough goodthings about this book, and I still have more to read and learn!I highlyrecommend it. ...

Beware Version Related Products
This book is easy to read and easy to follow IF you have the version of Timeslips for which it was written.It is, however, specific to Version 7 and the current version in use is 10.1 which is quite different.Version 10.1 is so different from Version 7 that this book is totally useless for the new version. ...
