Starting my Journey with Associate in Paralegal

i have just started by paralegal journey. thank you!

Incredible video--thanks for sharing--I work with paralegals and now I know their role in detail and can use to improve administrative support!

This was so helpful. Thank you for your wisdom and insight. I would love to see a you tube video about trial phase Or how us legal professionals are dealing/handling our cases in this world of COVID.

A video on Motions in Limine would be great covering both Plaintiff and Defense mentality as to which to use and which to object

OMG you should be a teacher because you really break it down. Thank you you're the best

I enjoy all of your presentations for paralegals. I would like to know more about drafting discovery requests.

I love those words of wisdom ❤️. I'm going to apply that to my life.

I mostly struggle with calendaring response / reply deadlines in federal court as pleadings come in through Pacer. Is there any kind of cheat sheet / resource that lists the pleading and the relevant response requirements !?? 🙏🏻

Is the notary licensing necessary?

If they're a conflict with a paralegal they're usually dismissed right from the case?

Thank you Misty. Can you do a video on how to put together a trial notebook?

It depends on what the lawyer wants but generally, exhibits, key documents, podium notes/arguments, stuff like that.

Is this a part 2 to another video? I'm asking because of the way it begins like you are in the middle of a sentence

Thanks a ton! This is so helpful :)! I have a quick question. I'm a 25-year old looking to improve his typing speed. All my life, I've used the pecking method (two index fingers). My current WPM is between 60-65. I really want to push to at least 70 WPM. How can I do it? Is it possible to learn touch typing at my age and see improvements within a reasonable period? Thanks!

my typing speed is 72 WPM. Typing practice was a requirement in my elementary school before we could do anything in our computer lab class. The best way to increase your typing speed is by typing. Keep doing speed tests and aim for accuracy because mistakes can pull your WPM down. Try to type out as much stuff as you can (I would type out exam study guides a lot in HS and college). Make sure you're practicing on the type of computer that you're most likely to use at work too. (ex. I have a MAC and the keyboard dimensions are different than the Windows computers I've always had to use at work so it took some adjusting).

Use online practice websites and apps. Maybe even download one. They’re fun and work. Maybe even start with one tailored to kids/teens. They’re fun. 😎

I'm about to start a paralegal program, I can't afford law school do to my current situation, I know many people say Its possible if I borrow money, get loans, FAFSA, but I don't qualify for any of those options. I'm also a guy, my question for you is. Do male paralegals have the same chances female paralegals do when finding a job? Everywhere I go when doing my research I see female paralegals most of the time. I have a AAS on surgical technology, but I always wanted to be a lawyer. I just don't want to put the effort of going back to school and have issues finding a good opportunity when it comes to jobs. Hope you can answer. Thank you

How do you do this with 70 or more cases? And keeping up with medical treatment? Please advise.

I thought a paralegal was General service for whoever needed it. I realize one can be a part of the firm as "their" paralegal therefore following their rules and such but are they not separate? Are there rules of ethics? Can't a private, non-bar, individual hire a paralegal for assistance? Please help me understand this.

@laurajane4806

The paralegal has studied (and/or gained experience in) administrative functions. There is a lot of document production in litigation, for example. When a paralegal drafts pleadings, etc. the lawyer he/she works under is in the court's eyes supervising the work of the paralegal. Paralegals aren't allowed to sign legal pleadings, etc. because they are not members of the Bar. Yes, there are people who hire paralegals to help them but paralegals are not lawyers and ethically barred from giving legal advice. They are hired to work "processes" that support the lawyer's case activity.

How easy would it be for a paralegal from one field of law to obtain a job in a different field? Is this common or not recommended?

@ArrowConsultants_MistyMurray

Ай бұрын

Changing from one area of law to another is common, but whether or not it is recommended is fluid - every situation is different. Switching areas of law can be challenging, and it truly depends on the areas of law. I mean, if you're a Bankruptcy Paralegal trying to move to Trademark & IP, those two areas of law couldn't be further apart and thus, breaking into the new area would be difficult due to the lack of procedural knowledge. However, if a Paralegal wants to move from Workers' Compensation to Personal Injury, while those areas are different, they are similar enough that movement from one area to the other wouldn't be too difficult. If you want to move into a new area of law, I recommend consuming everything you can about that new area of law first - forms, procedures, etc. Start networking and speaking with people in the area you want to switch to. Good luck and thank you for watching!

Do you feel like you can do almost everything that a lawyer can except represent a client before a judge in a courtroom?
