Practical Paralegalism's Recommended Reading This Week

By Lynne DeVenny

ADVERTISEMENTS

One of the many reasons I blog for paralegals is to share information they may find helpful for professional development (or a much needed laugh during a hectic week working with lawyers). Once a week I share links to a half dozen or so articles focusing on legal news, practice tips and technology - plus a good laugh or two.

Here's this week's recommended reading:

"Itsy-Bitsy, Teeny-Weeny E-Discovery" (Law.com) - There are many helpful links in this article about the need for smaller law firms to master e-discovery issues.

"How to Find The Opposing Party on Facebook" (Divorce Discourse)

"Free PDF Reader Doubles as PDF-to-Word Converter" (Business Hacks)

"Free Online Law Review Research" (Adjunct Law Prof Blog)

"Basic Etiquette for Email Lists and Forums" (Lifehacker) - I love listservs for legal professionals, when people play nice and remember that thousands of other users may be the recipients of their posts.

"Using LinkedIn to Help You Find Work as a Lawyer" (Small Firm Business) - Many of the recommendations apply to paralegals and legal assistants, too. I firmly believe that all of you should have an up-to-date, fully completed LinkedIn profile.

"Conviction Upheld Despite Judge's Exit Due to Secretary's Canasta Game" (ABA Journal) - C'mon, guys, it only took him six minutes to get his own letters out.

If you've seen an article or post that you think is helpful to other paralegals, I'm happy to share the link - just email me at lynne.devenny@gmail.com.
