And while we're on the subject...

Does your attorney know tomorrow is National Paralegal Day?

If they don't celebrate it every year, there's a good chance they don't even know it exists! Have you put it on their calendar yet? If not, it's not too late to start dropping a few... let's call them less-than-subtle hints. 😄

After all, if attorneys need multiple reminders for hearings, depositions, and filing deadlines, it's probably safe to assume they'll need a reminder for National Paralegal Day too!

📚 A little history...

You may have heard different dates mentioned over the years, and that's because various organizations and states have celebrated paralegals on different dates.

In 2024, NALA, NFPA, NALS, and the American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE) came together to establish August 6 as the official National Paralegal Day, and the date was formally recognized in the U.S. Congressional Record.

Some states and local paralegal associations continue to celebrate their own state-specific Paralegal Day on different dates, and those celebrations are still important. August 6 is the nationally recognized day to celebrate paralegals across the United States.

The date was chosen because August 6, 1968 was the day the American Bar Association established the Special Committee on Lay Assistants, now known as the ABA Standing Committee on Paralegals, marking an important milestone in the recognition of our profession.

I can't wait to celebrate with you tomorrow. Happy National Paralegal Day! 🎉

Every resume says:

✔️ Microsoft Office
✔️ Detail-oriented
✔️ Excellent communication skills
✔️ Ability to multitask

Groundbreaking. 😴

I want to know...

Can you translate attorney mumbling into coherent English?

Can you find the missing exhibit that everyone swore didn't exist?

Can you tell, just by the tone of an email, that someone's about to make your day significantly more complicated?

Can you keep four attorneys, two clients, opposing counsel, and the court happy... all before lunch?

Can you walk into a room, sense the chaos, and already know who's going to need coffee?

Those are the skills I want to see on a resume.

What's one talent you have that belongs on a resume, but almost nobody lists?

Do you keep these?

Whether you were an attendee, a speaker or even a sponsor, what do you do with your name badges from conferences?

I keep mine, I’m pretty sure I have all of the ones I’ve ever received except maybe a few generic ones that were just a name tag with no other information on it, but I’ve seen other people literally dropping theirs into the garbage as they walk out of the event space at the end of the conference.

What do you do?

Jeff Leitson wants to know:

What does your peer group think about story I just heard, the public using AI to file and proceed on thousands of legal cases. Apparently so many, dockets everywhere over loaded.

Staple remover? No need!!!

If you are dealing with old documents that you are disposing off, cutting the corners office is much better than taking the time to remove the staples for the staple remover.

If the documents have been stapled for a long time, they tend to stick together even when you remove the stable. Cutting them off as usually much more efficient for scanning purposes.

Obviously don't do this to original documents you have to retain or give back to someone etc.

Is a litigation paralegal who has never attended trial actually a litigation paralegal?

I'd love to hear from everyone on this one but especially the lawyers....

A litigation paralegal with 15+ years of experience went on an interview, and this is what she was told:

"I shouldn’t consider myself a litigation paralegal because I had not attended those events and was more of a “back office paralegal.”"

The paralegal said "I’ve never personally attended trials, hearings, mediations, or depositions because the firms I worked for simply didn’t bring paralegals with them."

I know what I think... but what do you think?
