In Lessons from the Top Paralegal Experts: The 15 Most Successful Paralegals in America and What You Can Learn from Them, Carole Bruno conducted a national search and found over fifty paralegals who were reviewed and selected by a panel of four prominent judges, Therese Cannon,Esq.; William Statsky, Esq.; James S. Wilber, Esq.; and Gary Melhuish, who are professional leaders, authors, and teachers who have helped develop the profession. Through a intense process, the search was narrowed to fifteen paralegals who know what they're doing and were able to flesh out the job descriptions and fill in the details that somehow were missed in paralegal courses." I've found all sorts of useful information, and I end up flipping through it on a regular basis. Something new always jumps out at me, and I'll take that tidbit to work and implement it and think, "Why didn't I think of this?" Bruno picked paralegals in various of specialties: litigation, intellectual property, commercial and residential real estate, bankruptcy, corporate and business, and family law, and wrote concise, useful tips from each of these paralegals that can be practically applied to the job. |

Paralegal’s Litigation Handbook
As one of the pioneer paralegals in the nation who helped create and define the paralegal profession, I wrote the seminal book, Paralegal’s Litigation Handbook (PLH) in 1980. Serving as a primer on litigation, PLH was adopted in over 250 colleges and used as a desk reference by paralegals nationally. It covers litigation from the filing of the lawsuit through judgment.
