A Happy Paralegal…Still? by Denise Blassak
Has the scent of old law books made you smile? Do thoughts of motion prep energize you? I must sound like a bookworm or law-nerd. What I am getting at is paralegals who enjoy what they do. Yes, I have experienced it, just as some of you. But does contentment remain as the years pass?
It is not unusual to question if we still belong where we are now. Some of us face high billable hour requirements and frequent last-minute requests. Others find their administrative tasks almost equal to the substantive ones. A periodic reevaluation is a good thing for all of us, even content workers.
Take a moment to think about what brought you here—the paralegal field that is. Was it binge-watching episodes of, say, ‘Law and Order’? I confess I have done that, on occasion. Unfortunately, the fictional attorneys have yet to share airtime with us.
