I happily directed three plays a year for all 28 years of my career, but I know some teachers get "stuck" with doing the plays. I would love to be a resource, particularly for those in the second situation.

Have any firms begun allowing permanent remote work since the pandemic? My firm has historically been proud of its office-based culture but I’ve been pushing for WFH and would love to hear of some examples. Mostly so I can move to a LCOL area closer to family while still keeping my job that I enjoy.

Happy appreciation day to all of you. My office isn't doing anything for us but I hope someone tells you how appreciated you are 🥺

90% of problems in the legal field would be solved if everyone set internal deadlines 2 days before the actual deadline 😭

Of the many binders you have made in your career, what percentage of those binders do you think were actually used? I do a lot of trial prep and I'd say most of the binders I prepare don't even get opened up, even it's just to see if there are actually printed papers in there.

Topic: interviews

Is it appropriate to follow up after interviews to ask why you were not selected? And/or ask for feedback so that you can develop and improve professionally?

I've had SEVERAL interviews since February, and I keep getting rejected and it's starting to leave me feeling discouraged. I've been in my current position for just over 3 years and in the industry for around 4 years and have a bachelor's in Legal Studies. The positions I've applied to all vary in nature.

Thank you.

I had been applying for several positions with a well known company since 2019 but never heard back. A few months ago I applied and wasn’t expecting to hear back, but then a recruiter reached out to me via phone maybe a month or two later. I was a taken a back and probably wasn’t as friendly over the phoneas I normally would be. At the end of the call she let me know that one of her recruiting assistants will reach out to schedule an interview. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t really take the…

It recently came to my attention that I’m billing significantly more than is strictly required of me and also more than the attorneys are required to bill (and what they actually bill lol). I know that there are differences in the job description but it feels like I shouldn’t be billing so much. Debating whether I should ask for a raise or if I should take my foot off the gas. Has anyone been here before?

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.

Thoughts/suggestions on types of jobs that are *not* paralegal jobs, but that my paralegal degree & experience could be beneficial?

I’m so burnt out from law that I’m starting to think I need to do something else. I can’t keep handling the constant stress from having to do my attorney’s job for them since they’re too scatterbrained to handle most of it themself.

How familiar are you with the cases of attorneys you don’t work under? Our firm is a small law firm and organized so that every partner has a secretary or paralegal (3 partners). We have a a couple of associates and law clerks that rotate between the partners. But each secretary normally sticks with their own partner. I work under the managing partner, so I also have a lot administrative and office management duties. Unless I’m asked to do a specific task, I never touch the other partners cases.
