the secretarial marketplace.

This practical and comprehensive guide for legal secretaries should enable them to approach their work with increased confidence. Of particular assistance should be the numerous specimen forms and documents which have been completed by the author.

These examples indicate the best way of filling in such forms, and they should be invaluable for reference. As well as covering most areas of law, this book identifies the people who work in the law and the structure of the courts. It contains a glossary, a section on etiquette and a list of addresses and telephone numbers.
