I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

When I first started, I felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of legal jargon. It took me about a year to become comfortable with most of the common terms. However, the key was consistent practice and exposure to different legal areas. Taking courses and working on real cases was really helpful. I may have to watch some Law & Order reruns for fun. lol!
It gets better over time. If you are a paralegal in a role where you are often interfacing with clients, a big part of your job is being the legalese translator between the attorney and the non-attorney client. And there is often a lot of overlap in explaining procedural nuances. For good measure, I frequently tack on a short disclaimer at the end of my explanations -- if this doesn't make sense or if you have more specific questions, please discuss with the attorney.
Clients know the attorney time is more expensive and will appreciate you making an effort to help them without racking up more attorney fees.
