PREACH. I was so adept at putting out fires and expecting yelling phone calls the day of deadlines because “they” forgot.

I always schedule a due date for whatever it is for it to be to me. I also have reminders set a few days before the actual due date. I also ran a report of all deadlines every Monday for each one of my attorneys. Each of the teams I worked with also tried to have a meeting every other week to discuss the status of our cases and deadlines. I carried a heavy caseload so this was the best way to keep me and my entire team on track without having those "OH crap" moments.

Yeah I always tell my paralegals that the actual due date is 3 days before lol

I’ve tried setting “get this to me” deadlines.

No, it’s not actually due for 3 more days, but I need it before then!

Doesn’t work.

I’m still getting documents at 4:55 the day it is due.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
