I've started at a new law firm a few moths ago as a Legal Assistant my attorney keep asking me to draft stipulations and Orders. It is very irritating to me it's her responsibility not mine. It is also illegal for a non-attorney to do so unless a person is pre si. What is the best way to tell her no?

It's not illegal. As long as she's reviewing your work and you're not signing for her, you can do form pleadings.

Are you fresh out of college or high school?

Not illegal at all. I have my assistant draft those all the time. Your job is to make her job easier.

It’s not illegal. I was an assistant/Paralegal for 20+ years before I became an attorney and I did it ALL as a staff member. Nowadays, legal assistants and paralegals don’t wanna do anything. the point of having an assistant/Paralegal is to assist the attorney with work. If you can’t help him, there’s no point of having you. It’s also good learning for you to add to your résumé. The more you know the more valuable you are.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.

Would it be hard for me to come back to the VC industry with this experience? Why or why not? Thank you so much for your time and help!

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.
