Paralegal

The British legal system is one of the most established and well known in the world, going back for even centuries. With the arrival of the Legal Services Act in 2007, the market for legal services in England and Wales was liberated from the traditional structure of law firms. It helped stimulate more competition and supply a new route for consumer complaints. Before it came into force, law firms were only able to consist of solicitors, barristers, or employees providing legal services to their…

During the years of 1978 and 1980, I was a teen single mother trying to juggle 2 children, a job (on occasion 2 jobs) and school to provide for my children without any assistance. It was my desire to further my education in order for me to provide a better life for my children; however, it became overwhelming and I had to drop out both times. The desire was still in me so I attempted again to further my education in 1986 and 1988 after my children became school age. Sadly, during that time…

Diversity and diversity communication should be treated very important in and around the workplace. Every person is different and should be treated accordingly. Treating someone differently and categorizing them in a group is opposite of knowing diversity in the workplace. When a workplace has diversity knowledge, it promotes productivity, efficiency, creativeness and vision. People fear diversity in the workplace because they feel like they might be judged, or put into a label by their…

Many of the daily tasks remained the same from the first half of the internship; my primary duty remained working with the asbestos paralegal on settlements in order for the clients to obtain monetary compensation from asbestos trusts. In the last month of my internship, however, the new practice area of pharmaceutical litigation was beginning to become fully functional and I…

The year was 1961, tension was stirring and relations between the United States and Cuba were boiling faster than the warm waters of the Caribbean. With Cuba serving as a pawn in a clever game of chess, the U.S.S.R. threatened the most powerful country in the northern hemisphere with nuclear missiles from an island just 90 miles away. These were some of the events transpiring when my parents were born in 1963. Thereon, a once vibrant and prosperous island would face oppression and diminish among…

The death penalty is the punishment of execution administered to someone legally convicted of a capital crime. On November 6, 2012, Californians voted to retain the death penalty in the state. The proposition narrowly lost by a vote of 52.8% to 47.2% (The Guardian). Californians should reconsider the vote to repeal the death penalty because it is unnecessary and costly. Legal executions in California were first authorized by the Criminal Practices Act of 1851 (CDCR). The first form of execution…
