About the Author: Robert P. O'Neill Jr., J.D., is a lawyer and professor who began his legal career at the District Attorney's Office in Philadelphia, beginning as a volunteer and later employed as a paralegal in various units within the office. Thereafter, he accepted an invitation to study law in Pittsburgh where he earned his Juris Doctorate at Duquesne University. While enrolled in his legal studies, he utilized and sharpened his research and writing skills as the senior law clerk at a large defense litigation firm. There, he performed legal research on complex issues on a daily basis and wrote numerous defense briefs and memorandums for multiple attorneys in the areas of workers' compensation, federal civil rights, municipal law, and personal injury law.

He later returned to Philadelphia and became an adjunct professor of paralegal and pre-law studies at Drexel University. He created and taught Legal Research and Writing and Advanced Legal Research and Writing, as well as assisted in restructuring the Paralegal Studies Minor Program. During that time, he also served as a judicial clerk in the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania, where he has clerked in the homicide, felony, and family courts. He has engaged in hundreds of hours of legal research and drafted more than 80 judicial opinions to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, as well as three death penalty opinions to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. He also has mentored numerous undergraduate and law school interns providing basic instruction in legal research and writing. He has volunteered his time at numerous legal interest events, and served as a student mentor at his law school. Legal Research and Writing: A Practical Approach for Paralegals is his first published work. He currently resides in Philadelphia.
