Unwritten Rules: Paralegals and Support Staff
1. They are gold.
2. They know more than you on many things.
3. Learn from them. They are now your professor.
4. I don’t know how they know Shelly’s third cousin once removed that works at the courthouse to get that document filed for you. But, they do. Don’t question it.
5. Their stories are sooo good. Listen to them.
6. Treat them well. Show mutual respect.
7. I don’t know how they stay so well organized. But, learn that too.
8. Don’t worry about calling for research help. They already know how to find it.
9. Lawyers sometimes aren’t good with empathy. Paralegals deal with many different personalities. Ask for tips.
10. Always remember you’re on the same team.
