RE: Paralegal Job Description? |
| Message: |
Could anybody tell me what a typical day is like as a paralegal?
The short answer to that is no, not because we're unwilling, but because the question is too broad. A typical day at a small transactions firm in North Carolina is a rather different thing from a typical day at a large litigation firm in Florida, which are different from a corporate legal department at a widget manufacturer, which bears little resemblance to a day at legal aid. All of those are different from working for a title company, a lawyers' liability insurer or a state bar, and being a freelancer is an entirely different gig. Then there's the whole contracting industry, both governmental and private side, or the instances where we can provide direct services to the public such a preparation of certain bankruptcy documents or representation before the social security administration. All that is just on the civil side. The criminal side has its own wealth of opportunities.
