Hi all, I've created a fundraiser for my friend Ashley, who is a trans woman in prison. She wants to take a paralegal course in order to help herself and other queer prisoners navigate the prison industrial complex, and also give her a skill she can use when she is released. If you can help with anything at all, it would be much appreciated. She already has some of the funds she needs to pay for the course and is trying to raise $665 more. This is hard, since prisoners in Washington state are only allowed to earn about $100 a month by working in prison (and much of this money is used to pay for basic needs, like hygiene products, food, and clothing).

Please share, too! Thank you!

💜 The days have been gray, foggy, and rainy. I have been spending time at home, working on my courses, reading dark academia novels, watching tv, working out, doing my skincare, journaling, manifesting, and writing away for my blog.

A slow January to set me up for a better year.

How has your January been?

barely a year and a half of taking shit from attorneys as a paralegal before I realized if you can’t beat em, join em. 

but also I was invited to teach trademark searching at a law school IP clinic and loved it so much that I'm going to spend the rest of my life chasing that feeling.

It’s very silly that my gf’s non binary friend said I was intimidating, I’m literally such a pushover 😵‍💫

Also unrelated but I’m so stoked and terrified at the same time, tomorrow is orientation for college then Wednesday it’s like actually happening.

I’m very spooked that I’m gonna stand out because I’m like a trans woman in a law program. So my brain is trying to convince me that I need to go hella fem so I can kinda hopefully pass.

Does anyone know if online college is worth it?

I'm currently considering an in person 2 year associates degree at my local community college so I can become a paralegal, it would cost around 10,000.

But I'm also thinking about a 4-year Paralegal bachelors program at the online University of Cincinnati, which would be around 70,000.

Would it be more beneficial in the long run to do the 4 year? I watch my siblings while my mother works so I don't have much flexibility to attend physical classes, but I know from experience that I learn better in person.

Any advice would help.

🌸 Starting A New Course

Just recently, I started a Paralegal course. I was always intrigued about the law. So, I decided to explore it a bit more while opening up possible career options.

I just wrapped up my Intro to Law class. I submitted our project and have a final due in a few days.

So far, it has been an interesting experience. I've learnt about the court system, ethics, and basics of law. The class was taught by a state supreme court judge.

My next class is going to be contract law. Curious to see how that goes!

Thus far, I am enjoying studying. The coziness of reading and writing, a mug of coffee by my side, the leaves falling outside, the chill bite in the morning air, makes the experience of studying all the more better.

What Paralegals Actually Do

When people find out that I'm a paralegal, the question they ask most often is, "What does a paralegal actually do?"

Paralegals can draft documents, investigate the facts of cases, review evidence, interview clients and witnesses, do legal research, and do trial prep while under the supervision of their attorney. Since they're not attorneys, paralegals are not allowed to represent clients in court, accept clients for the attorney, set legal fees, or give legal advice.

Traditionally a law office is set up with the attorney(s), the paralegal(s), and the secretary. The attorney(s) go to court, handle mediations and depositions, file documents, and delegate and share the tasks listed in the previous paragraphs with the paralegal(s). The secretary is typically the person who answers calls and takes messages, handles scheduling, handles payments and billing under supervision, and does all of the organizational tasks that are needed to keep everything stocked and running smoothly.

I like to use an analogy to make it really click when I'm talking about the basics of what paralegals do so people don't get hung up on the tasks themselves. I tell people to imagine a law office is like a doctor's office. If the lawyer is like the doctor, then the paralegal is like the nurse practitioner, and the secretary is the charge nurse. Like nurse practitioners work under the doctor's supervision doing a lot of the same tasks as a doctor, a paralegal works under the supervision of an attorney doing some of the same tasks as an attorney. However, this analogy doesn't really apply as well when an office isn't set up traditionally or if the paralegal is a freelance paralegal.

In smaller towns with smaller law offices, like where I live, the offices aren't set up as traditionally. A lot of the time in small towns attorneys are sole practitioners, meaning only one attorney per office, and they'll only hire one support staff member that will handle both secretary and paralegal tasks for them. This is how things are done in the office where I work. I'm still called a paralegal because I have the qualifications, but I also do the secretarial work on top of the documents, evidence review, trial prep, and all the other paralegal tasks.

In the present day, some paralegals don't work in-office anymore. In addition to the new remote options offered by some offices that popped up and remained because of Covid, some paralegals are freelance paralegals, which just means that they do all the same paralegal tasks as traditional office paralegals, but they do them from their own home or possibly even from their own paralegal business that is set up like a "firm" of paralegals. Instead of working for one attorney, freelance paralegals may work doing specific tasks (like document prep or trial prep only) for multiple attorneys at a time, or they may work for multiple attorneys on a case-by-case or an as-needed basis.

I actually started as a freelance paralegal, and then this summer, I transitioned into in-office work for one of the attorneys I freelanced for. (Most paralegals do it the other way around.) As someone who prefers a set schedule and a reason not to stay in my pajamas all day, I like the in-office work much more than I liked the freelance work.
