Lawyers go after Comelec, Smartmatic | DateLine Philippines

In other words there is already damage to the electoral process and for this damage somebody has to assume the responsibility and Lente will take probably the lead role… in ensuring that those who are liable will be made to answer after the elections,” Libarios said. Lente is a nonpartisan election watch group composed of lawyers, law students and paralegal volunteers. Libarios, however, stressed that Lente would defer the filing of charges until after the elections in order for Comelec and Smartmatic-TIM officials to be able to focus on their poll duties.

Is being a paralegal a good career?

I’m taking an online course starting in June to become certified as a paralegal. I was wondering if the certificate is all I need to get a job as a paralegal, or should I intern somewhere first? Also wondering what it is like to be a paralegal (money, stress, job demand, etc.) I saw BonnyRogue’s answer–and have another question.

Lawyers, listed as 82nd, ranked poorly due to high stress levels inherent in the profession. “Attorneys and stockbrokers may earn considerably more than bookbinders or telephone repair technicians , but these high-powered careers are hurt by anxiety, as both rank [more...]
