Merriam-Webster's Legal Secretaries Handbook

I agree is a must for secretaries that are starting out on the field or currently working as well. I use this book when I am training a new secretary or intern in the firm I work for. It is a wonderful reference book to find quick answers to questions I may have. It is also the book I recommend secretaries to buy first. It would be great is this Legal Secretaries Handbook is easily available.

After being out of the legal field for over 10 years, this book was a Godsend! Every procedure, document or legal term I had forgotten was mentioned and explained in precise, yet easy to understand terms. I ordered this book while beginning to send out resumes to legal secretary help wanted ads. It gave me great insight on cover letters, resumes, thank you letters and tips on interviewing. After sending out just seven resumes, I received two offers to interview within 24 hours. I accepted an offer from the second firm and by reading this book, I was able to walk in on my first day on the job feeling confident that my skills were up-to-date. And, if I come across a term or procedure I am not familiar with, I know that I will find the answer in this book. This is a must own for legal secretaries everywhere, those that are new or not so new to the profession.
