NYCI Fall orientations begin on Monday, September 26 and run through Wednesday, September 28. The schedule is as follows:
Being a paralegal is a fulfilling career choice with many rewarding job opportunities in a variety of settings. Paralegals were introduced into legal practices in the 1960s in order to lower legal costs and streamline the court process. They perform a number of duties to assist attorneys with cases and help clients understand the law. Below are just a few of the standard duties of a paralegal:
1. Interview clients: Good communication skills are essential to paralegal work because paralegals are responsible for collecting information from clients, maintaining contact with witnesses throughout cases, and relaying summarized data to the attorneys they work with. Successful cases rely on the work of legal assistants because paralegals facilitate communication throughout the legal process.
2. Attend trials and depositions: Although paralegals are not able to represent clients in court, they still attend trials, closings, and hearings. Their presence is essential because they collect and record information and assist attorneys with organizing witnesses and facts throughout every case. Paralegals also write case resolutions, contracts, and other case documents.
3. Conduct Research: Verified facts and accurate research are essential to any legal case. Paralegals work to investigate and research case facts. Research is conducted through a variety of mediums including interviews, internet research, and traditional legal investigation. Good research and writing skills are integral to this career as well as technological abilities so you can successfully access and utilize internet databases.
