Considering I won’t even know if I passed the bar exam until October, is it appropriate for me to apply to paralegal jobs to get my foot in the door and get some legal experience? Or are paralegal jobs specifically designed for someone with paralegal training, and not regular law school training. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks - I guess my question is more: should I apply for paralegal jobs? I know I’m qualified for them technically, but do graduating law students ever typically apply for those [more...]
