Looking for advice. I’m a litigation paralegal looking to start law school in Fall of 2025. I just took my LSAT and didn’t do that well (154). I have an average GPA from undergrad and close to 4 years of law firm experience, 2 of those being at a civil litigation law firm handling over 125 cases myself. Should I take the January LSAT in hopes that I can increase my score, but possibly miss scholarship deadlines or apply with what I got and hope my personal statement and letters of rec help?

What is the average paralegal salary in NC for a commercial real estate law office? I’ve been with a great firm for the last 9 years but am starting to wonder if I’m being compensated fairly. The company is about 30 employees (mostly attorneys) but I work primary for 4 of the attorneys.

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!

Any paralegals ever switch to a legal tech company? How did you like it?

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.
