Start A Great Career As A Legal Nurse Consultant! | Sacramento ...

According to the Association, a good litmus test is to see if the legal nurse consultant is separate from the paralegals/legal assistants course tracks. Their occupations are considered different because they are legal professions. A legal nurse consultant is medical. It builds on their nursing education and clinical experience. So what these courses really do is prep their students for the legal arena. If the school meets these standards, it is more than likely legitimate. There is an abundance of information about school for nursing on the web. From there, legal nurses can enjoy a very [more...]

In addition to earning a salary, paralegals also receive vacation, paid sick leave, a savings plan, life insurance, personal paid time off, dental insurance, and reimbursement for continuing legal education. Although lawyers assume ultimate responsibility for legal work, they often delegate many of their tasks to paralegals. In fact, paralegals-also called legal assistants-are continuing to assume new responsibilities in legal offices. One of a paralegal’s most important tasks is helping lawyers prepare for closings, hearings, trials, and corporate meetings. Paralegals might investigate the [more...]

The percentage of African-Americans enrolling in law schools has actually trended downward since 1993, meaning there was a greater proportion of Black students in law school 15 years ago than there are today.

Though one can parse them many different ways, it seems to me the point was to say something spiteful about UC Irvine, while pumping up Chemerinsky and his cheerleaders in the elite law school academy. He's right that better schools produce better lawyers, and that this doesn't have as much to do with the higher quality of instruction at such schools as it does the attributes of the students. I'd even venture that the instruction at top tier schools in some ways hampers the development of students into good lawyers, insofar as many top schools' curricula are clogged with faddish political [more...]
