The Power of Paralegals and Legal Assistants | Rebroadcast

Are you slipping on keeping up with your clients and meeting important deadlines? For many lawyers, utilizing paralegals and legal assistants gives superior organization and efficiency to the practice of law. In this Legal Toolkit, host Jared Correia and Keith Shannon discuss the importance of paralegals and legal assistants in the legal profession. They define both roles and go over the types of work they can and cannot do according to ABA guidelines for paralegal services. They also talk about the types of law office technology and training lawyers should invest in for their paralegals–a means to maximize skills in e-Discovery and necessary office tech. Finishing up, they address how to hire qualified paralegals and offer strategies for avoiding paralegal burnout.

Keith Shannon is an instructor in the paralegal technology training program at Central Piedmont Community College in North Carolina.
