Any CA paralegals who took the CAPA CCP exam? If so, would you recommend?

Looking to find out what top litigation paralegals in personal injury in CT/MA are making? I handle our bigger and critical cases and work with the partner who manages the litigation department. I love my job, just lately wondering if I am underpaid at 65k base. I have ten years of experience. Bonuses are not too significant and they are given to all paralegals/team if we meet goals. Thank you.

Of the many binders you have made in your career, what percentage of those binders do you think were actually used? I do a lot of trial prep and I'd say most of the binders I prepare don't even get opened up, even it's just to see if there are actually printed papers in there.

Interested in endeavoring into the legal field through a paralegal role. Currently work at Big Four. Anyone willing to give a referral to Kirkland & Ellis?

I had been applying for several positions with a well known company since 2019 but never heard back. A few months ago I applied and wasn’t expecting to hear back, but then a recruiter reached out to me via phone maybe a month or two later. I was a taken a back and probably wasn’t as friendly over the phoneas I normally would be. At the end of the call she let me know that one of her recruiting assistants will reach out to schedule an interview. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t really take the…

Anyone have advice on reasonable salary range for a contracts manager or senior contracts manager at the big tech companies, Amazon, Google, Meta, etc. in a high cost of living city? Thanks in advance

How do you deal with inexperienced attorneys misguiding you or telling you to do things that are not correct? I’m helping out the Florida office (I’m in Ga) and I’m less familiar with their rules. I really want her to go ask someone what the correct steps are.

The insurance company I work for outsourced a huge majority of my work to a third party, ontellus 🤮. I am not longer able to bill for NPNP, SDT and CNOS. I received 5 separate NPNPs from ontellus that either had the incorrect case style, signature block or date. I also sent out an email today after the 5th incorrect NPNP that started with “I am honestly starting to feel like I am on the show Punk’d and waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop into my office” continued in comments..

Anyone have experience working for ADP in legal department?

For those of you who have been formally given the title of “senior paralegal” what are the qualifications for that title at your firm? Does your firm do promotions from paralegal to senior paralegal? At my firm we are all simply just “paralegal” (we all fully handle our own dockets, no assistants) and I would like to help develop a concrete career track for paralegal to senior paralegal.

How does a litigation paralegal, with over 20 years of experience, get into the corporate world? like a contract paralegal? I've always worked in litigation, and really want to get into a large corporation, I have made it to interviews, but seems like they always want someone with transactional and contract experience.

Ever been let go before your billable time entries were in? Was let go today and not all of my time made it in as it was due next week. I’m expecting a heavy payout but I’m wondering if they can withhold since my billables are not in? Seems like their loss at this point.

Happy appreciation day to all of you. My office isn't doing anything for us but I hope someone tells you how appreciated you are 🥺

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all . I hope y’all are having a great weekend. I just want to asked how hard was it to get first paralegal job?

How as a new graduate do I turn all my knowledge into an opportunity? Any help from fellow paralegals is welcome. Thanks .

Salary check: drop the name of your firm, location, YOE, salary, bonus and billing requirement. 😝🙃

Do any of you have the title “paralegal” but no paralegal certification? I do a lot of actual paralegal work but not sure if it would be looked down upon to use that as my title on LinkedIn/email signature.

(My company doesn’t really assign titles btw - my boss calls me his paralegal)

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.
