Dedication
We dedicate our For Dummies series books to our children Alison Hatch and Dan
Welch, Andrew Hatch, Zachary Hatch and Miarra Jackson, and Zoe Hatch and John
Gilchrist and our grandchildren, Paige and Ryan Welch. Rather than le missing
persons reports on us with local law enforcement agencies, they demonstrate
extreme patience, understanding, and assistance while we write these books.
Authors’ Acknowledgments
This book wouldn’t have been possible without the extensive research and writing
contributions of Martin Rollins, JD, David Newland, JD, and Zachary Hatch. Their
eorts greatly enhanced our information gathering, and we’re deeply grateful to
them.
We also need to acknowledge the input of the thousands of paralegal, legal secre-
tary, legal investigator, and legal nurse consultant students who’ve completed our
law career certicate courses over the last 35 years. The classroom and online
contributions oered by these dedicated learners have provided us with lots of
input about what prospective paralegals want and need to know most.
The editing professionals at Wiley Publishing greatly facilitated our writing pro-
cess. Our thanks go out to Chad Sievers for his support and attention to detail,
David Dougherty, JD, for his insightful technical edits, and Lindsay LeFevere for
initiating the process and being available whenever we had questions.
Finally, we want to acknowledge our literary agent, Margo Maley Hutchinson, at
Waterside Productions in Cardi for introducing us to the innovative For Dummies
series.
Wiley has to be commended for its pioneering eorts to make nding out
about new careers fun. We thrive on positive reinforcement and feedback from
our students and encourage our readers to provide comments and critiques at
feedback@legalstudies.com.
