How Do You Fully Leverage Paralegals?




The LawBiz® Podcast show

Summary: What does a paralegal do?  Have you ever attempted to type the plural of paralegal in your word processor; what happens?  Evidence that few lawyers, let alone others, understand what a paralegal is, does or contributes to the law firm. Find out: What can paralegals do? What can't/shouldn't paralegals do? How can lawyers take advantage of the skills that paralegals bring to the table? What is the best way for lawyers to interact with lawyers? Can lawyers leverage the skills of paralegals, and if yes, how best to do so? How can lawyers make money from the work performed by paralegals? Our panel members, Cynthia Mascio, ACP, CEDS, a leader in the California paralegal movement, and Edward Poll, J.D., M.B.A., CMC, will discuss these issues from the perspectives of both the lawyer and the paralegal. 56 minutes, 3 seconds 12.8MB Click here to listen
