Paralegal Opening: Immigrants' Rights Project

Dec 18, 2006

Searching for paralegal job openings

Dec 17, 2006

Found openings just by searching the Web for "openings OR careers AND paralegals": WilmerHale, a international law firm, has paralegal opportunities in 3 different cities. Mintz Levin, "a recognized leader in the use of information technology," posts openings for paralegals & points to opportunities for project analysts (a position that sounds fascinating to me!). Miami Dade Public Defender has openings for Mitigation Specialist & Paralegal-Interviewer. Houston's Porter & Hedges currently lists 2 openings for paralegals on its website. Geenebaum Doll & McDonald, a business-focused firm, also has 2 current openings. Lots of openings for legal assistants & other staff for... Read more →

"A Mouse on a Mission in the Document Maze"

Dec 17, 2006

Just what I've wanted: a computer mouse that smartly finds what I want in a mountain of documents: "The new mouse does all the work of a standard model, while also letting the user skim rapidly through lengthy documents to reach a desired spot in seconds. It does this with an unusual scroll wheel that can be flicked with a forefinger; the text on the computer screen immediately starts flying past, but stops on a dime when the wheel is tapped. The speed is adjustable to let users see exactly where they are in the document. "The mouse, called the... Read more →

Corporate Counsel trailblazer makes her mark in EDD

Dec 16, 2006

All I have to say about this trailblazer is "You go, girl!" Electronic discovery is not that easy for non-techies to grasp: "It was June 2000, and Laura Kibbe, then an associate at Kaye Scholer's New York office, had to deal with e-discovery for the first time. Her client, Pfizer Inc., had just acquired a company whose diabetes drug had been pulled off the market and was being attacked in civil suits. Kibbe, confronting her first mass tort case, had no formal tech background. She recalls that 'the plaintiffs were already into discovery, making requests for e-mail and databases. I... Read more →

"Electronic Evidence - Fear and Loathing in the Legal Profession"

Dec 16, 2006

Great post to the MassLawBlog! First, a great quote, followed by a daunting, yet very informative diagram of "client server architecture" [PDF]: "The schematic displayed...is a simplified illustration of a corporate network which Microsoft provided to the Federal Rules Committee in connection with proceedings on electronic evidence. It was intended to illustrate a generic corporate computer network. "If you are a lawyer and this seems like an alien concept that no lawyer should ever be required to understand, you’re not alone. Lets face it - like most stereotypes, the old joke that lawyers go to law school to avoid math... Read more →

"How Web 2.0 Could Light Up Your Law Firm"

Dec 15, 2006

What is "Web 2.0" exactly? This article describes the key elements & possible law firm uses: "Grappling with Web 2.0 can be a bit daunting in that it has become an amalgamation of disparate trends and ideas. Equal parts buzzword, technology standard, aesthetic ideal, business model and social movement, Web 2.0 may become a phrase we come to mock as 'so 2006.' But this lack of an easy definition doesn't diminish the importance of what Web 2.0 seeks to describe. The evolution of how we use the Web and the technologies that drive that evolution are no less important for... Read more →

"Google launches search engine for US patents"

Dec 14, 2006

This news from Google sure sounds smart to me. But will patent paralegals be impressed? "Google was live [12/14/2006] with a service enabling Internet users to search through the more than seven million patents granted in the United States. "The beta, or test, version of Google Patent Search lets people sift through patents granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office as long ago as 1790 by using inventors' names, filing dates, patent numbers or key words. "Searches return information about the inventor and provide patent details online page-by-page." I've never worked in this field, but was completely fascinated by... Read more →

TIME: Best Inventions 2006

Dec 13, 2006

Not really paralegal related, unless an article about the year's best inventions counts as learning about IP! (Well, there is that "Paralegal Hidden Camera" video...) "Meet Peter. Peter is a 79-year-old English retiree. Back in WW II he served as a radar technician. He is now an international star. "One year ago, this would not have been possible, but the world has changed. In the past 12 months, thousands of ordinary people have become famous. Famous people have been embarrassed. Huge sums of money have changed hands. Lots and lots of Mentos have been dropped into Diet Coke. The rules... Read more →

"Top Ten Tips for Effective Utilization of Paralegals"

Dec 13, 2006

Seems like a good article to put here....right after that "lawyers resolve paralegal priorities among yourselves" post: "Paralegals have been part of the legal profession for roughly 30 years. When utilized correctly [PDF], they are a significant benefit to a law firm or law department and its clients because they are able to handle both routine and sophisticated legal tasks that do not require a lawyer but cannot be performed by secretaries or other administrative personnel who lack the time, skills or education. "Failure to utilize paralegals effectively results in a host of problems for a law firm or a... Read more →

"Paralegals. Just say no."

Dec 13, 2006

Recent post from the UK's nearlylegal blog describes a familiar problem. Do you agree with this paralegal's solution? "I currently have four solicitors giving me work. Regardless of what I explain about current workload, each insists that their work takes priority. Each then gets very annoyed when I do my own form of triage as to what gets done first and what gets delayed. I have to. They are individually incapable of accepting that their work might have to be done later, or by them. "Let us get this straight, on the off chance they are reading. I am paid... Read more →
