This amazing! I am really happy they know very well you are already doing that kind of work. Thank you so much!

Currently studying for LSAT on a 200+ case caseload, I regret everything. 😂

Cheers to what you are building! 🥹

I’ve been seriously considering attending part time for a few months now. I’ve been a paralegal for the past 18 years and have always regretted not going to law school like I originally intended. I’m married with tween kids so my plan is to work while attending law school. It’s completely overwhelming just thinking about how the logistics will all work out but it’s been a lifelong dream of mine. I have a great job in house at a Fortune 100 company but feel like I’ve stalled out in my paralegal career.

This is interesting. I have very little experience in the paralegal field, since I have only done it for 3 years. But i think anyone who has children has the potential to do anything they put themselves to. I have always admired my mom for raising me and running a house while working full time. I believe you can do it!

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.

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.
