It's been my experience that paralegals are often celebrated on Administrative Professionals day but I can delete my post if you want lol

Yeah it’s the day for more traditional secretaries today technically and that’s how some firms label them to justify paying them like crap and basically running them down into total burnout. I am just absolutely done with this type of culture.

Additional Posts in Paralegals

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? I’m a new graduate have been actively searching since May to no avail . I previously took classes in real estate, New York civil practice, litigation, family law and business law. How as a new graduate do I turn all my knowledge into an opportunity? Any help from fellow paralegals is welcome. Thanks .

How familiar are you with the cases of attorneys you don’t work under? Our firm is a small law firm and organized so that every partner has a secretary or paralegal (3 partners). We have a a couple of associates and law clerks that rotate between the partners. But each secretary normally sticks with their own partner. I work under the managing partner, so I also have a lot administrative and office management duties. Unless I’m asked to do a specific task, I never touch the other partners cases.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does?

Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.

Any tips for finding remote paralegal roles? I am currently a senior corporate paralegal.

It recently came to my attention that I’m billing significantly more than is strictly required of me and also more than the attorneys are required to bill (and what they actually bill lol). I know that there are differences in the job description but it feels like I shouldn’t be billing so much. Debating whether I should ask for a raise or if I should take my foot off the gas. Has anyone been here before?

I've been in my current position for just over 3 years and in the industry for around 4 years and have a bachelor's in Legal Studies. The positions I've applied to all vary in nature.
