California Paralegal's Guide

The first several editions of this publication were written by Mrs. Zella Mack, as well as the earlier publication entitled California Paralegal Handbook. The Sixth Edition builds on this solid foundation. Mrs. Mack was one of the early woman pioneers of the California legal profession and received her B.A. at the University of California, Berkeley. She was employed by some of the most prestigious law firms in the county such as Ropes & Gray in Boston; Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro in San Francisco; and the Sacramento law firm of Mull & Pierce. Mrs. Mack taught legal secretarial training courses and fundamentals of legal assisting under the auspices of the Sacramento Legal Secretaries Association and the Sacramento County Bar Association. She was a member of the Sacramento Association of Legal Assistants, the National Association of Legal Assistants, the Sacramento Legal Secretaries Association, the California Writers Club, and was a Sustaining Member of the National Federation of Paralegal Associations. Mrs. Mack passed away in late 2009, leaving behind a reputation as a lifelong advocate for improving her chosen profession.
