Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few writers can create worlds so rich and fully-realized the reader immediately feels at home, even when the concepts have not yet been fully laid out. Fewer still can do so with language so rich and lyrical it is a joy to read, with details so rooted in the human experience that one cannot help but be absorbed into the story. Gabriel de Anda is such a writer. Whether delineating the struggles of a law firm dealing with the demands of an ex-partner --- about as ex as one can get --- or the dichotomy of rich and poor spreading out among the galaxies or even musing on the irrelevance of a classic icon which somehow makes it seem more relevant than ever de Anda nails it. Readers, you are in for a treat.

Download or read book How To Become A Paralegal How To Be Highly Successful As A Paralegal And How To Earn Revenue As A Paralegal written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on how to become a paralegal, explicates how to be highly successful as a paralegal, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a paralegal. While becoming a paralegal may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a paralegal. Much to the relief of prospective paralegals, it is possible to become a paralegal in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become a paralegal is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective paralegal can follow to become a paralegal is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a paralegal. Paralegal skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of February of 2020, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population are employed as paralegals. In the US, for instance, less than 431,000 are employed as paralegals even though the us population is comprised of over 328,000,000 people as of February of 2020. As of February of 2020, less than .132% of people in the US are employed as paralegals. This means that out of 762 random people in the US, about only one person at most would be employed as a paralegal as of February of 2020. As of February of 2020, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys in the US than paralegals even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a paralegal. As of February of 2020, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a paralegal. As of February of 2020, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more paralegals, especially since they work alongside to attorneys to assist them with handling cases. “For instance, corporate paralegals work with attorneys to handle contractual issues such as shareholder agreements, stock option plans and employee contracts and litigation paralegals work with attorneys that take on cases through the civil trial system” (Gobler, n.d.). Some attorneys even depend on paralegals to assist them with handling cases throughout all of the phases of a case, while other attorneys depend on paralegals to assist them with handling only a particular “phase of a case” (Gobler, n.d.). Paralegals can play an integral role in streamlining the process of handling cases at law firms in contexts in which the paralegals are able to profusely assist attorneys with handling multiple phases of cases. Paralegals are able to fulfill a versatile role at law firms. Paralegals fulfill a vast variety of job functions that extend beyond the ambit of them conducting research. The job functions of a paralegal are multitudinous and are of eminent importance for a paralegal to perform. Paralegals can “handle broad range of administrative and research duties under the supervision of attorneys. For example, during the course of a day, they may organize and maintain legal files or draft documents, deliver or retrieve documents from the courthouse and conduct intensive legal research” (Gobler, n.d.). In addition to fulfilling the aforementioned job functions, “paralegals also investigate the background facts of cases, organize evidence and documents for attorneys to review, accompany lawyers to court, and manage schedules with witnesses and experts” (Gobler, n.d.). The responsibilities of a paralegal are multitudinous. The responsibilities of a paralegal can vastly vary from paralegal to paralegal. “The specific responsibilities of a paralegal can vary greatly, depending on the department, office or law firm in which a paralegal works” (Gobler, n.d.). Law firms frequently delegate work to paralegals and have become less dependent on hiring more attorneys to conduct research for their cases in the 21st century. Without paralegals, law firms would need to more attorneys to handle their caseloads. Law firms are able to significantly reduce their labor costs by hiring additional paralegals to fulfill research duties in lieu of hiring additional attorneys to fulfill research duties. Law firms are able to operate more cost-effectively by hiring additional paralegals.
