Description
Lawyers' Skills takes into account the Written Standards published by the Law Society. It addresses all the skills that are integral to the modern solicitors' practice. The text introduces students to the theory underpinning these skills and is supported by reflective exercises and examples from practice. Importantly, the methodology employed allows students to continue their learning beyond the Legal Practice Course. This new edition has revised exercises and the 'Learning Outcomes' are more explicitly laid out in order for students to see what their learning objectives are throughout the text. flowcharts, diagrams and practical examples. The chapter on IT has been expanded, with sections on Excel, Power point and how to apply IT skills. There is more on e-communications and how this affects the client care, and the chapters on Legal Writing and Drafting have been revised in order to give students more clarity in the areas they find difficult. The book also has a Companion Web Site and Test Bank with 100 multiple choice questions to test the students understanding of each topic.
