Practical Paralegalism's Recommended Reading This Week

By Lynne DeVenny

ADVERTISEMENTS

I blog for paralegals to share information they might 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 and humor, practice tips and technology. (There are a few more links this week since I took a lovely, lovely self-imposed two-day beach hiatus from all things electronic last weekend.)

Here's this week's list:

"10 Legal Writing Tips From Bryan Garner" (Lawyerist.com) ~ Frame this.

"Does Your Office Equipment Tell Secrets?" (Oregon Law Practice Management) ~ File under "Rat Fink Copier."

"Calling the IT Department! Oh Wait...That's Me!" (Sonoma Freelance) ~ If you haven't already added freelance paralegal Daphne Drescher's well-written blog to your RSS reader, now is as good a time as any. In this post, she shares her home office set-up.

"Eleven Ways to Get Back to a Web Page" (PC World)

"An e-discovery primer: just what is ESI, information and digital data?" (The Electronic Discovery Reading Room) ~ This is a great overview for newbies, paralegal students and people pretending that e-discovery isn't coming to all law firms, regardless of size. If you're really interested in e-discovery, check out "7 e-Discovery Groups or Communities You Should Consider Joining" (TERIS).

"How to Turn Procrastination into Productivity" (Business Hacks) ~ I like it, "Cho

ose to get something done."

"Lawsuit Alleges Failure to Supervise Gophers" (Lowering the Bar) ~ I like gophers, but then I don't have a yard. Click on the link for a (mythical) "Gopher Whisperer" t-shirt.

Favorite Practical Paralegalism post from this week last year: "Beware of Online Sample Paralegal Resumes"
