After years in personal injury law, I saw a gap between how paralegals are trained and what the work actually requires. So I’m building a hands-on training program focused on pre-litigation skills—case management, legal tech, formatting, etc.
I plan to expand into litigation and workers’ comp training soon.
Do you think there’s a need for this kind of practical training?
how would you market it to people who could really use it?
