Chapter 9 Legal Vocabulary
This chapter is perhaps the most important of all chapters in this book. A good understanding of the state and federal court systems, jurisdiction, venue, and legal procedures is essential if the students are to advance to responsible lawyer's assistant positions. The Iawyer's assistant who drafts pleadings and performs legal research is usually very knowledgeable about procedural law and can be of great assistance to the lawyer. The importance of this material cannot be overemphasized.
