Introduction
to Paralegal
Studies
Chapter
18
Chapter 18 You will spend a significant amount of time writing as a paralegal. This chapter is only the beginning of your writing education. It examines the many types of documents you will write as a paralegal. Therefore, we will concentrate on only two documents. You will brief a case and write an Internal Memorandum of Law. As you move through the program you will continually brief cases so this skill is an essential skill for a paralegal. The legal memorandum will be based on the Sleeping Beauty or Lemon Law cases in your book. This chapter has been most difficult to prepare for in terms of distance learning. You will continue your legal writing education in all law classes but most particularly in Legal Research and Writing and Advanced Legal Research and Writing.
