Legal Office Procedures, 8th Edition Text & Workbook Bundle

Tina Kamakaris, Jane Kamakaris, Louis Kamakaris

Legal Office Procedures offers practical guidance for every step involved in opening to closing a legal file. Readers will learn to select appropriate documents, identify relevant information, complete forms, and anticipate subsequent procedures in multiple legal situations. By addressing the most widely practiced areas of law in a single volume, this highly popular book prepares readers for the classroom, the work placement, and the law office.

The eighth edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect recent legislative and regulatory updates including: claim limit increases for Small Claims Court; updated terminology, forms, orders, and agreements related to Ontario’s Family Law Act, Divorce Act, and Children's Law Reform Act; the completion of online forms and transactions for the new Ontario Business Registry; new land transfer tax requirements; and changes to the Succession Law Reform Act.

Students will also have access to the companion text, the Legal Office Procedures, 8th Edition Workbook that includes start-to-finish legal files with ongoing case scenarios, interfacing files, legal templates, and assignments aligned with each chapter of the main text.
