Right now, I’m looking for a mentor—someone who’s experienced in the paralegal field, especially in criminal defense or prosecution, and can offer guidance, insights, and support as I begin this journey.

If you or someone you know is open to mentoring a motivated, passionate new paralegal, I’d love to connect and learn from you.

DM me or leave a comment—I’m ready to grow!

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.

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?

Hi all, anyone familiar with Skadden in DC? Looking for any insight!

I have my first case review I am kind of nervous about it, wish me luck. I am not scared, I am just nervous about it.

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.

The thought of Attorneys talking down on Paralegals is sickening.

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

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work.

(Also I’m only 1.5yrs old in my career so I’m definitely still new, and I have previous experience as a project assistant).
