• Do not try to hide $170,000 in earnings to avoid restitution from your prior conviction in a land flipping scheme, by claiming it was payment for your paralegal work. You know any paralegals that make that kind of money? (The Florida Times-Union)


• If you're an attorney, and your paralegal is running his own employment discrimination practice out of your office, with a fee split of two-thirds going to the paralegal, the court will not buy your lame excuse that you did not intend to facilitate the unauthorized practice of law. (Law.com)


• What a pair: a judge kicked off the bench for discussing a female intern's "knockers" and his former paralegal, who has been convicted of stealing $300,000 from at least 50 illegal immigrants trying to get their green cards. (NYDailyNews.com)


• It seems wrong to still be called a paralegal if you've already been convicted of monetary thefts from two different attorneys, and are now indicted for eight criminal charges arising out of allegedly stealing your own daughter's identity to apply for five credit cards. (DailyRecord.com)

When I couldn't find a suitable free image, I remembered my youngest, a/k/a "The Teen" in my Twitter postings, does "Oh No You Di'int" face better than anyone I know, and takes about 500 pictures of herself a month with her digital camera. That's actually not a bad idea, especially if you're trying to take your own headshot for your LinkedIn profile.
