Comments From Paralegal Instructors About Litigation By The Numbers®-Fourth Edition   I have always marvelled at your book and really push it to my classes to be SO much more than text, but a superb practice guide. Thanks for your help and sage advice. Dave Manzer, Esq. - Instructor, South Coast College "Although I am clearly biased, I cannot say enough about how the combination of LBTN and the companion text, California Civil Litigation and Discovery, has changed my classes.  My students more readily understand and apply principles and techniques with clarity--which translates into projects that are professional in content and appearance on the first draft.  Dozens of my students have remarked about how succinct and understandable the text is.  Students whose primary language is not English have found the text clear and easy to understand.  Many others have commented that they use it in their workplace along with the LBTN binder, during class and long afterwards.  As an added bonus (to my students as well as to myself) my class grades have improved tremendously and consistently since changing from Luten and Rutter."  Barb Pollinger, J.D. - Instructor at Santa Ana College and Fullerton College "This is the fourth (or fifth?) class in which I have used Litigation by the Numbers for my paralegal students. I find LBTN to be both student and instructor user-friendly and that it fits perfectly with my 10-week class, which includes 2 weeks on Discovery. The information is clearly presented and, due to Julie’s timely updates, is both current and accurate.  In addition, former students often tell me how useful LBTN is once they’re "out in the real world." Nothing I’ve seen yet comes close." Steven Pinsker, Esq. - University of California at Santa Barbara “I have used Julie Goren's books - Litigation by the Numbers and the Substantive Companion - in my paralegal classes at American River College for several years. I believe these texts to be the best available on the market on the subject of Civil Litigation for Paralegals. Julie has been very thorough and responsive in providing regular updates to the texts and in incorporating changes suggested by instructors and students.  . . . Litigation By The Numbers is clear, concise and is especially useful insofar as the step by step instructions are concerned.  I particularly like the examples of the custom drafted forms.  This gives the students a good example of how certain pleadings should be formatted. I would recommend LBTN not only as a textbook but also as a practical guide for use by paralegals and legal secretaries who are involved in civil litigation practice." Steve Johanson, Esq. - Instructor, American River College "[It is] a wonderful classroom instructional manual and resource that students will be able to take with them when they go to work in law offices." William B. Dixon, Paralegal Program Director - South Coast College (For the full text of Mr. Dixon's statement, click here.) "What a powerful, up-to-date, resource you've put together.  No question, this book would be invaluable to the paralegal/sole practicing lawyer in the office." Barbara Pollinger, J.D., Instructor Fullerton College and Santa Ana College "Litigation By The Numbers is working out quite well.  The students love having something tangible that they can look at and relate to when I am discussing their assignments.  They appreciate the step by step approach you take with the creation of all of the documents.  I'll definitely be using it again the next time civil litigation is offered."
