Any tips for writing samples for entry level paralegal job applications? I don’t have access to any sample briefs from when I became certified. I feel obligated to provide something supplemental since “entry level” jobs “prefer” applicants with 8 years of experience lol.

Writing samples ? That’s just as bad as a typing test requirement. You don’t need any of that and it’s bs

Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.

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.

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise
