Terrific article on how to make the most of your LinkedIn profile! I wish I had a way to “share” it on my LinkedIn page.

LinkedIn is great, especially their groups. I recently completed my first volunteering opportunity with the North Carolina Bar Association Paralegal Division and it was a great experience. I would never have known about the opportunity had it not been for LinkedIn.

1) Personal identity theft was a problem well before Sept. 11, 2001. Please, stop perpetuating ignorant fear.
2) You most likely have \Auto-fill\ for forms activated.
3) your ignorance of how technology works makes it easy for hackers to do just about anything to you without even using a computer.
Thank you for sharing with the world your ignorance, now you can be avoided.

Comment on Battling Burnout – Long hours, overwhelming workload leave some saying they’re in ‘paralegal hell’ by Bryce

Great article. That is why we allow our staff usually one and one half hour for lunch, off on Fridays at noon to one pm and frequent breaks during the day. I have been doing that for over 16 years . No doubt about it. The legal profession burns out everyone. The Courts and the State Bars all need to get a grip on the unreasonable deadlines for attorneys which in turn flows “downhill” to the staffs.

Comment on From rocket ship dreams to law firm life: One paralegal’s journey by Sharon A. Gore

Hi Lindsay:

Your article was thought-provoking, humorous, and informative. It made me realize the importance of not taking myself too seriously, but to try my very best while applying my skill and talent with regard to each specific case. Knowing that “every piece of paper is actually a piece of someone’s life” makes me cognizant of the enormous responsibility I have to maintain integrity and ethics at all times as a duty and courtesy to every client. Also, as you so eloquently suggests, FEAR is always presents itself in every facet of life, however, I do believe that once it is overcome, we all realize that it really is “FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL” which we should never embrace. Thanks again for your input. I will remember your article in my quest as an Intellectual Property paralegal. Thanks again!

Sharon
