When I used to teach Paralegal Studies at the local Uni I would always bring the State Bar newsletter to class to go over the section of the newsletter listing Bar Disciplines. I would point out to the class all the attorneys that blamed their paralegals for their own incompetence in their defense statements for a Reprimand, or Suspension and to remember that when looking for a job and remind my students to ALWAYS cover your @ss and keep receipts for the work you do. Your reputation for receipts will keep the blame off you.
It won't always change the outcome for what happens to you because the attorneys still have a lot more at stake to lose than we do but it will speak for itself eventually when it all hits the fan.
Special note: They know the truth but the lie pays the bills.
Yes!! Although it wasn't at a paralegal office but rather a dollar general 😉!

No, not for fraud. But how I see it is what goes around comes back around. Keep on pushing forward. The truth will be exposed eventually, it always does. Unfortunately, sometimes we are not around to see it happen. But, if we are, we should not joy in their exposure just forgive them and pray they learn from it and are big enough to ask for forgiveness from all those they had hurt in the process.
Nope!
I wouldn't say gaslighted or a scapegoat for me. It was me questioning the validity of ethics. I know their license is at stake, but in the end, our (paralegal) jobs are. I was let go about 2 months ago and still looking for a new job. I love what I do and I have morale fiber that gives me pride in what I do. I was ashamed in the attorney, but then I was the one released. Now they are looking for yet another paralegal.

Have you had any interviews yet? I wish you lots of luck. How long have you been a Paralegal? The reason I am asking is have you tried your hand a contract paralegal? Maybe also put that on your resume or better yet, in your cover letter that you are looking for that too (remotely maybe?) while you look for work and hopefully you will get some bits.
