I became unexpectedly close with a court clerk in one of our local jurisdictions and it’s been a total game changer. I didn’t go in with an agenda, I was just consistently polite, respectful, and responsive. But now? I get heads-ups on scheduling quirks and even gentle warnings when a judge is having a bad day. It’s made my job so much easier and less stressful. Do you have any underrated work connections that quietly save your ass on a regular basis?

Hey, does anyone work for Jacobowitz Newman Tversky? Would love to know more about the office and culture .

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work. My position title is changing soon but I’m wondering how helpful that would be for wanting to go into PM work at a tech company. Anyone have any career pivot advice? (Also I’m only 1.5yrs old in my career so I’m definitely still new, and I have previous experience as a project assistant).

Are there any fully remote lawfirms, ie you don't have to live in the state they have offices? I recently left a large lawfirm to go in-house which came with a huge paycut that is not going to be sustainable long term, but needed a remote position to be able to move. I'd like to keep my current job part-time but get back in a lawfirm too.

Paralegals: My firm is looking for a paralegal, and I see the job posting advertising the salary as $65-$75k, with benefits. Is this a good salary for a paralegal (Greater LA area)?

How can the attorney you work for make your life easier, make it easier to do your job, make you less stressed?

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.
