CLA Review Manual: A Practical Guide to CLA Exam Preparation.......2007-05-22
Good and comprehensive. I have no problem with the substantive value, however, the finish of the pages was raged and not trimmed properly. One part was extended way beyond the cover. Is this because Amazon gives a discount? Not something I appreciate in a book I will keep in my library for life. The prior issue was a better-quality product.
A great review manual and reference book.......2000-06-07
This book was my primary source when I was preparing for the CLA exam. Coherent, organized and thoughtful, it is a "must buy" for CLA candidates. Until my book was borrowed (and not returned) by another legal assistant, the manual served as a handy reference manual in my practice.
Book Description
This book teaches the myriad computer skills legal assistants need in order to help make law offices and other legal organizations run smoothly. From case management and docket control software to litigation support software and legal timekeeping and billing, this is the definitive book on computer usage for legal professionals. Readers also will find that this teaching tool becomes a handy reference manual in the professional setting.
Customer Reviews:
For beginners.......2007-05-12
I purchased this book for a class (legal technology) which turned out to be as remedial as this book. While I believe it could be very useful for someone who is not used to navigating a computer, it really insults the intelligence of those of us who have grown up with technology. This book does have a few useful tips that clarify certain aspects of Concordance and other legal programs, but I find it easier to explore an unfamiliar program on my own without the tedious step-by-step process Roper uses in his lessons.
Informative, but............2006-11-07
I purchaed this book for a Paralegal class. I had two very bad experiences with the book. First, the first copy I received had no Appendix in it, so I had to send it back. It was unfortunate, as I needed the Appendix to do an assignment. Secondly, the software that was provided was expired when I tried to load it into my laptop to do homework. I called the publishing company and they promised to send me a new disk; two weeks later and I still have not received it.
I will keep it as a reference source, but I hope that another book will be written for future students. If you do not need it for a class, PLEASE look for another book.
Great learning tool.......2005-03-24
I bought this book for a legal assistant class and I enjoyed it. I learned a lot. It's hard to learn computers from a book - but not this one. The book comes with software and has tutorials and exercises that accompany the software. My class also liked the fact that there are tons of practical applications for how computers are actually used by practicing paralegals and legal secretaries in the book. Also, when it comes to litigation support - one of the most difficult legal computer applications to master - it was fantastic. It comes with three different litigation support programs, including Summation. Summation is fairly involved to learn and the book, tutorials, exercises and software did a good job of teaching this to me. I am confident now in my ability to do basic litigation support. The chapter on using the Internet to do legal and factual research was also excellent.
I would definately buy this again!.......2005-03-18
This book is essential for anyone working in a law office. Computers are used in nearly every aspect of working in a law firm. The book is huge - nearly 700 pages - and it covers every main type of program used in a law office. It comes with software, and lots of exercises and I thought it was very easy to read and straight forward. It covers hard topics like litigation support and Access databases in a way that I could understand without totally going over my head. The book covers both entry level and advanced topics. For example in the word processing chapter the Word tutorial had 7 lessons that got progressively more difficult, starting with basic word processing and ending with mail merges and creating tables of authorities.
Highly Recommended.......2005-03-14
I think this is a fabulous book. It comes with demonstration versions of 5 legal software programs including three litigation support programs, a time and billing program and a case management program. There were a number of in-depth, hands-on exercises for each program, so I really got to learn about each type of program by using it. Also, although I have used Access, Word, Excel and Powerpoint before, I liked the fact that there were in-depth exercises for learning legal applications for each of these programs. This is a very practical book.

Customer Reviews:
Commitment, Character, Competence.......2007-07-31
The advice in this book extends beyond the professional world and echoes in everyday life. This makes sense; we don't live double-lives, and there exists no magic, secret formula for success in business, medicine, or raising kids. It comes down to basic human virtues.
Commitment. Character. Competence. These attributes fuel the engines of success in life.
It boggles the mind how many books or programs offer axiomatic platitudes such as "it's not what you know but who you know" or "success is what makes you happy, so be true to yourself."
None such wasteful advice finds its way into this book. Rather, Dr. Irwin points out the objective, observable standards that exist in life, and our need to continually evaluate ourselves and measure our choices against those standards.
As the book says; it's simple, but it isn't easy. I highly recommend this book.
Run with the Bulls Without Getting Trampled.......2007-07-08
Tim Irwin's book, "Run with the Bulls," is by far the most insightful business book I have read this year. It causes you to take a look beneath the surface and determine how you can lead a life of significance and find meaning in your work. There are very few business books that take you to this level of personal reflection. "Run with the Bulls" is one of them.
run with the bulls.......2007-04-19
"Run with the Bulls" offers a practical approach to finding meaning and fulfillment in our careers. Tim Irwin uses straightforward language to express complex ideas. He has an engaging way with personal anecdotes that serve both to clarify his themes and share aspects of his family life. One of the book's many pleasures is its frequent use of cultural references. Dr Irwin's interests range from "New Yorker" cartoons to TS Eliot to popular movies like "Groundhog Day." His experience as a psychologist has given him unique insight into the complex issues that so often derail our attempts to pursue excellence.
If you are running your career you need this book.......2007-03-08
The best complete compilation and illustration of the keys to a great life and career.
Great Stories with a Powerful Message.......2007-01-31
"Run with the Bulls" is hard book to put down. I savored each chapter. The author tells real life stories as the foundation for a powerful message on principles of leadership. After reading the book I passed it on to my 18 year-old son who read it in a week. I wish I had known the principles which Irwin sets forth so clearly when I began my career! The stampeding bulls will trample the energy and enthusiasm out of many young professionals. I ordered six copies for my family members to help them avoid that fate.
Book Description
In an increasingly diverse workplace, it's more important and challenging than ever to communicate well. We must build bridges that cross our differences to connect our similarities. The Art of Connecting reveals five core principles and presents corresponding, specific strategies for overcoming communications barriers and connecting effectively with anyone, regardless of professional, generational, ethnic, cultural, or other differences.
The authors also explain how the most skillful connectors are able to shift perspectives-to see a situation from three points of view: "me," "you," and "them." All of the principles and strategies are brought to life through absorbing examples and scenarios, plus engaging descriptions of "masters of connection"--like famed National Public Radio interviewer Terry Gross--doing what they do.
There is always a bridge. The Art of Connecting shows how to find it--every time.

The Art of Connecting.......2007-07-17
I think more and more people in business (and life in general) are realizing that people are not exactly like them. Simply put, we live in a global community where not everyone looks, sounds, or acts the same. In addition to obvious physical differences, we also have different interests, values, and goals. Thus, to be successful in business (and in life) one needs to understand, get along with, and ultimately connect with people that are different from him or herself.
The Art of Connecting takes the difficulty out of connecting with anyone. The key is not to pour over Chinese history books for two weeks before that meeting in Beijing. Nor is it to be friendly and aloof because you are unsure of how to act. The secret is merely realizing that we all are individuals (we are all our own culture as the book states). Watching, listening, and trying to find common ground with each person as an individual is much more likely to allow you to overcome overt differences, build rapport, and communicate effectively.
Exceptional Resource connecting Concepts and Practices.......2007-02-14
The Art of Connecting is a well written book that combines concepts and ideas with useful tools for connecting. The book has a wealth of applications with great examples from Terry Gross' "Fresh Air," The Steckels Milestones Project, and Hector Orci's work with clients. The book moves from Core Principles to chapters like Pathways to Connections, Points of View and Working with Groups.
The appendix offers some valuable exercises that I was able to immediately share with students when teaching and learning about inclusiveness and listening to other voices. It concludes with an assessment tool to consider your own effectiveness in connecting.
An exceptional resource for connecting concepts and ideas with practical applications.
Clear instructions for establishing rapport in a diverse business climate.......2006-10-31
After studying people who have a great ability to connect with others, authors Claire Raines and Lara Ewing analyzed what you need to do to become a "people person." They present easy-to-follow guidelines. The most crucial tip is that you can find a point of similarity with anyone, no matter how different he or she seems from you, if you believe you can make a connection. First, learn to listen carefully and, then, once you uncover that similarity, you can build on it to communicate. Raines and Ewing fill their book with anecdotes from actual experience, and lots of ideas for fostering communication and overcoming differences. We recommend this manual to managers of diverse groups and others who want to learn to resolve conflicts.
A Must Read for my Clients.......2006-08-24
As a consultant who works with leaders from the profit and not for profit sectors I am recommending The Art of Connecting to all of my clients. It gives clear examples and easy to follow "tips and traps" for working through differences ranging from class, age, gender, disabilities and race. In today's crazy world being able to build rapport and communicate effectively are essential skills for successful people.
universally valuable.......2006-06-16
I have been a professional communicator for over 20 years and I was sincerely impressed by the practical usefulness of this book. I strongly recommend it to any one who manages a company or sees the value of influencing, motivating or simply connecting with others. Because I see our workplace and culture becoming less homogenized, it is increasingly important that we gain the skills outlined in this book regardless of whether we are interacting with customers, co-workers or those who are in different socio-economic positions both in the work environment and in the world at large. Ewing and Raines have done a wonderful job and this book would be a valuable addition to anyone's personal library.

Refreshing, insightful & entertaining read!.......2007-09-30
"The Power of Charm" shows you how to create "extraordinary rapport" that makes other people feel exceptional. Authors Brian Tracy and Ron Arden contend that "the most valuable commodity in the world isn't gold or diamonds-- it's charm."
The authors suggest that charm is a proven method for interacting with people that makes them open to you and receptive to your message. As a result, they're more likely to have personal and business relationships with you, and think of you in positive terms. Your reputation, how people think and act towards you is your most valuable personal and professional asset.
From start to finish, this book is entertaining and fun to read. The tone is always upbeat and optimistic -- not like etiquette or manners books that point fingers and shame you into compliance. You'll find yourself smiling and laughing as you read this book, especially the little personal stories and insights that the authors share. There are also some sly techniques for getting someone's attention (such as the "flick technique") that you probably haven't considered before. I found myself stepping back from the text, and thinking about my own communication and interaction style.
Some parts of this book are so awesome that I memorized them. For instance, the five ways to boost another person's self-esteem--- this is something I used at the gym today (mentally recalling all five points) when I was struggling to make a good impression on someone.
The book includes:
Five ways to boost another person's self-esteem
Four keys for effective listening
Why women are better listeners then men
How to charm a woman by meeting her three core emotional needs
How to charm the socks off a man in conversation
Why looking into a man's eyes (& finding him valuable & important) is irresistible
How to change the way you act (by changing the way you think)
8 signals for creating rapport (and much, much more)
I loved reading `The Power of Charm" and would recommend this book to anyone who wants to brush up on their interpersonal skills. If you really want to connect with people on a deeper level (and who doesn't?) this book is for you.
I'd also recommend this book for anyone who is shy, lonely, looking for love, suffers from a broken heart or failed relationships. The book would also be helpful to anyone who comes across as harsh, overbearing or insensitive. Whatever your disposition, the gentle and lighthearted nature of this book will win you over, and help you realize that change is possible, one small step at a time. Yes, this book has the power to transform your life-- but only if you read it and apply what it says.
The reviews posted here on Amazon don't give the book justice--and I don't understand why anyone would badmouth this gem of book. "The Power of Charm" is a heartwarming book that made me smile from ear to ear.
An effective dose to enhance your charm real quick.......2007-09-17
I agree with the positive reviews that this book really helps. I concur with those negative reviews that there is nothing new in this book, especially to readers who had read three or more books on communication. However, I am obliged to rate it a four star for the authors excellence to vividly present so much useful stuff in only 134 pages. Very concise and definitely helpful! A good reminder/shortcut for veteran readers and communicators as well. The special bonus section "The Power of Charm on the Telephone" is for sure a bonus. Highly recommended!
p.s. Below please find some of those IMHO not so common sense passages for your reference.
The flick suggests the depth of your involvement with the person and in what she or he is saying.....Flicking is the simple act of shifting your gaze from one person's eyes to the other while you are listening......create a triangle of flicks between his eyes and lips, making her eye contact very intimate and very sensual. Pg 42
Smiles that appear genuine don't switch off abruptly. Real smiles seem to linger for a moment or two. A smile that doesn't linger really isn't a smile. Pg 73
The best way to create a feeling, if you have it not, is to act on every occasion where that feeling is desirable as if you had it already, and you soon will have. - Aristotle pg 78
The true spirit of conversation consists more in bringing out the cleverness of others than in showing a great deal of it yourself. - La Bruyere pg 104
Have you ever tried to talk with others only to find yourself out of step with their mood?...You have to find a way to mesh gears, to make sure that you and the other person are in sync, so that no matter how different you are, you can create rapport....mirroring and matching. Pg 119
Don't forget, a smile can be heard and felt in your voice on the phone. The listener might not smile, but you must! Pg 130
The Power of Charm.......2007-07-29
This is another mind enhancing book that makes you want to be better at what you need to do. But it's been written by several other authors already with different titles. Smile, nod and make eye contact. OK, borrow someone elses to read and save the bucks.
Excellent.......2007-06-14
This is the only charm book you'll ever need. It's a very fast read, which is great, because you can read it, learn the techniques, and start applying them immediately.
This is truly a must have.
Not Tracy's best.. An "OK" book.......2007-05-30
I usually read everything from Brian Tracy. His books have a lot of interesting stories to illustrate his points and they give the reader the impression that some research time has gone into them. "The Power of Charm", however, leaves the reader with a feeling that not a lot of time went into the writing of this book. The book does have some good ideas and for anyone that has not read Dale Carnegie's books or many others on the topic of relationships, this might be a good book for you to pick up. For others, check out many other books by Tracy that have a lot more meat in them.

legal review .......2007-09-21
The book's last publication was 1992...it's soooo far behind the times as far as the technology part is concerned. She did not even mention Legal Software that a lot of lawyers use now-a-days...called PRO DOC. SO it's a sort of good reference book if you overlook the date of it and it also being behind the times.
This book is great for LA's learning the ropes........2006-08-26
I really love this book. I've been a Legal Assistant for only 2 years and I find that this book gives a clear understanding as to the how and why legal documents are prepared. Especially when preparing documents with 3rd party defendents/plaintiffs and also headings for Infant Compromise cases. I've added it to my Legal Reference Library and sit's on my desk with my CPLR. I'm currently in school working on my associates degree in Paralegal Studies and at the ripe "young" age of 48...I think I've found my niche.
What a Great Helpful Book.......2005-08-27
This book is so wonderful and helpful. I just started working in a law firm doing litigation and I knew nothing. This was a total foreign language to me. The book is laid out so easy to read and is so interesting it keeps your attention. I highly recommend this book to everybody. Even just to keep as a reference book. It is very helpful. I hope one day they make a Strictly New York book.
reply to: Not completely satisfied but a good reference.......2004-08-24
... the reason it wouldn't show specific court documents is because each state has VERY different rules for how documents must be presented. Your local legal secretaries association should have a more explicit reference guide showing exactly how pleadings, etc. should look for your state. I think you're missing the point of the book if you're expecting that kind of information.
Very Good Beginner or Refresher Source.......2004-01-19
This comprehensive guide to the legal office offers much to those who are just starting their careers as legal secretaries or for those who have been away from the field for a few years and need a refresher. In addition, secretaries in general law offices may find the specialty sections helpful when preparing documents for unusual situations. The information is more current than not and is clearly presented, including short glossaries of Latin and English legal terms. However, Ms. DeVries omitted criminal law practice from her areas of specialty section and neglected to discuss the various legal-specific software programs available.
Recommended as a general source.

Brian Tracy delivers the cure for fear-driven paralysis.......2007-07-10
When things go sideways, it's common for the human mind to shift to "worst case scenarios." Dwelling on these hypothetical situations generates fear, fear induces paralysis, and the "self-fulfilling prophecy"...dwelling on what you DO NOT WANT instead of facing fear head-on and fighting for what you DO WANT...becomes a reality.
The chapters are "Stay Calm," "Be Confident In Your Abilities," "Dare To Go Forward," "Get The Facts," "Take Control," "Cut Your Losses," "Manage The Crisis," "Communicate Constantly," "Identify Your Constraints," "Unleash Your Creativity," "Focus On Key Result Areas," "Concentrate On Priorities," "Counterattack!," "Generate Cash Flow," "Care For your Customers," "Close More Sales," "Keep Things Simple," "Conserve Your Energy," "Make Your Connection," "Character Is King," and "Put It All Together."
To the reviewer who commented on the size of the book (117 pages), all I can say is that I'd rather have a 117 page book that is focused and filled with usable information than a 300 page book that says nothing and goes nowhere. Look at those chapter titles. You WILL get your money's worth on this one.
This book is targeted toward working men and women with their backs to the wall. The only thing that will turn around a bad situation is calm, consistent, well-planned action. This book provides the framework. You fill in the blanks.
Stop worrying, roll up your sleeves, and get to work. Brian Tracy will coach you out of your fear, but only if you read the book and take the appropriate actions. Don't buy the book, set it on your shelf, and go back to worrying. You will get stronger with every step you take, no matter how small the steps might be. TAKING the steps is the secret.
Some where, some day you will meet your Crunch Point.......2007-05-23
This is one of those books that has a way of finding you when it is needed most. It doesn't matter who you are, how much experience you have or how much success you have gained; sooner or later you are going to have a setback. When you do (or you may be in the middle of a crisis now) you will want this book on your desk. The beauty of Crunch Point is that is doesn't overwhelm you with theory. The ideas are basic and things that you probably already know - the problem is, when you are in a crisis you can't think clearly and often overlook the basics. Brian Tracy teaches you to slow down and think. The good news is that it works and with a clear head you will meet your crunch point head on and emerge a winner. Jeb Blount, PowerPrinciples: Do You Have The Winning Edge?
Crunch Point.......2007-03-08
This was a great book. I used the 21 secrets to succeeding during a "team building" exercise with my group. I had each member use one secret and relate this to their everyday job. Everyone really enjoyed the exercise and I was grateful to have this book as a reference.
Simple to the point and pure Brian Tracy.......2007-02-20
Brian's books are to some trivial but after thirty years in big business his books are on the mark and this one is no different. He gives you a step by step guide to dealing with your business or your life. His focus with this book is when things have gone bad and you want to come back and his 21 steps will bring you back ... good work and straight forward. Loved it.
RIGHT ON!.......2007-01-11
Brian's book came at a crucial point in my business when I needed some practical advice, not just more philosophical "business speak". Crunch Point was a great read with applicable information and ideas that will pay dividends for many years to come!

Customer Reviews:
This book is an easy way to learn speedwriting!.......1999-11-19
I needed to be able to take dictation at 80 wpm, in a very short amount of time, to pass an exam to keep my job. Never having taken a shorthand course & not being able to find a place to learn shorthand, I came across this book. I was amazed at how easy it was - this book takes you step by step through the process of learning the rules of speedwriting, as well as giving you practice sessions to build up your speed. It's a skill that you can use for more than taking dictation - just for writing yourself quick notes. The book is simple to understand & gets right to the point - without it, I would have lost my job!
I'm thrilled with EasyScript !!!.......1999-04-24
I'm thrilled with EasyScript. I found it very, very useful and proved I can grasp speedwriting. I had a job interview and the manager dictated a letter to me at 80wpm. It's unbelievable I got most of the text right!!!

Shorthand.......2007-02-08
This is an excellent book on alphabetic shorthand. It is a very comprehensive course and very easy to understand. There are plenty of excercises and in conjunction with the workbook, a very fine course. Even though shorthand is something of the past, there is still a very strong need for skill in this subject. Very well written and the best shorthand textbook on alphabetic shorthand anywhere.
