She labels her own style as “Texas, Louisiana and Chicago Blues meets Memphis Soul,” and local critics and musicians have likened her powerful voice to all her idols. But her path as an artist has not been a particularly straight or smooth one. Her twenties saw Mary's music confined mostly to acoustic jam sessions with friends. (Remember, in addition to six-string guitar, this woman plays a mean ukulele.) Then, in 1989, Mary joined the rock/blues cover band One Thin Dime. They had a few original tunes and opened for some national acts. But as is often the case in the competitive music [more...]

How do I become a paralegal? | Online Criminal Justice Course

Hopefully a criminal justice degree will do it, just let me know! Thanks for reading, I appreciate it… First there are ZERO ABA approved online paralegal study programs since what you learn in the classroom which follows the ABA academic curriculum is not possible to learn online. Additionally, many places will not hire someone with a degree or certificate in this field that was not ABA approved (including myself.) As long as you have a degree that’s a start. The problem is having that one place open the door for you to get the experience. The majority of law firms and even small offices [more...]

“Attorney Supervision,” Running & Capping, and the Rogue Paralegal

On the other hand, they avoid the expense and hassle of proving their education and experience, obtaining a bond and registering as a Legal Document Assistant. To add insult to injury, this type of advertising conveys the impression that the illegal operator actually provides “more” or “better” services than the typical registered LDA. Whereas the LDA’s advertising explains that we are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice, the illegal “paralegal” has an attorney “on staff” who can advise her clients, affording the consumer a “value-added” service. Our contract is [more...]

Since traveling to London to study the paralegal profession there I have continued to monitor developments there.

Unfortunately, the universities are pumping out about twice as many law graduates as there are apprentice contract slots.
