"Absolutely 100% not Guilty"

“For legal assistants who are typically assigned the responsibility of researching, analyzing, and providing supporting evidence and documentation to help support their law firm’s cases, and submitting the necessary forms to the right court in the required jurisdiction, this book is a goldmine of indispensable court information - from case establishment to crafting a compilation of admissible evidence to understanding and assisting the parties in arriving at the case’s ultimate culmination and verdict. I would highly recommend Absolutely 100% Not Guilty by Schmalleger and Moore to any aspiring legal apprentices.” Linda J. Collier, M.S., J.D.

“My students are loving this text this semester! I would highly recommend the text to anyone who wants to incorporate a real trial into their coursework. My students have all spoken very highly of the book and tell me how glad they are that I am using it. I hope there are more texts like this in the future - I would definitely use them!” Deborah M. Rowell, B.S., M.S., Ph.D. Candidate, Criminal Justice Instructor, University of South Carolina, Lancaster
