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?

Recently, the CEO and my boss, the VP gave me the latitude to promote myself and "write my own" job description. I've been the Marketing Manager of this company for about 7 months. Already received 1 raise.

I have about 7 years experience in this area.

I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour.

My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?

Second year associate here who recently switched from litigation to corporate law. I am absolutely swamped while simultaneously having no idea what I’m doing ever and I’m feeling so burnt out.
