Paralegal College - The Gravy Train

Paralegals are served by a handful of organizations with two of best being, NALA (the National Association of Legal Assistants) and NFPA (the National Federation of Paralegal Associations).

the real lacc

I have had a number of classes with you, the author of this opinion, and, have had a number of the professors that you make referance to as I am in the paralegal program at LACC. Mary, I respect your passion, dedication and commitment to justice but this article not only crosses the line it pretty much goes so far past the line that it comes full cirlce again. I believe that in your quest to see justice done the mere utterance of certain words inflame your self-rightous indignation. I mean, really?

Still, that’s all well and good until you come down with terminal cancer.  Or, let’s look at this on a more everyday level: how many people have you known who have ever been pregnant?  Do you know what my son and his mother’s medical bills totaled on the day of his birth?  Somewhere around [more...]

The College Scam (92%) « Just Another Pretty Farce

Tennessee Career College. Remington College. Southeastern Career College. Now of course I was already wary of “92%”, seeing as that was the number the J L Kirk lady gave us. I think from now on I’m going to call “92%” the Carny Number. It’s close enough to one hundred to seem like success, but unrounded enough to look factual. And here is where I say how much I love my readers and other bloggers. Because while I spent most of last Thursday being fed the 92% garbage from various tech schools, I got a whole lot of pure knowledge via email. Tons of truth were laid down in my [more...]
