716 Words3 Pages

This is a good topic for me to write about. There are actually a few things and a few people that influenced me to pursue a paralegal degree. I have always liked the law field, but I always knew I wouldn't be able to manage the school to become an attorney. I also know that being an attorney is a very stressful job, so I figured that at least being a paralegal I would be able to still have the enjoyment of the law field in a different aspect. I am so excited to get my career going and experience what all is entailed. I would like to mention the few things and the few people that influenced me to become a paralegal.
An attorney that I am very close to influenced me to choose this career. Her name is Monique Brown-Barrett. She is a family law attorney in Jackson, Mississippi.

It will keep you on your toes and make you realize the most important thing about

    I would also like to inform you that since you indicated that your dream was to be able to provide a “direct” service to impoverished clients who need advice on business contracts that also cannot be attained as being a paralegal means that you cannot advise your clients on any type of legal issues for that is the job of a licensed attorney. You may want to reconsider this career as it does not fully reflect your interests, instead, you might want to pursue the career choice of being a legal document assistant. As found in the California Business and Professions Code 6400 (c.) a legal document assistant is someone who provides self-help legal services to those individuals who representing themselves. These individuals are typically impoverished as they cannot afford an attorney to represent themselves in court or help them fill out specific documents. So by being a legal document assistant, you are able to those who are in need.

    I have no doubt that she would be a rule of law judge that strictly interprets the law and does not attempt to legislate from the bench. She understands the needs for consistency as this is what provides attorneys and litigants with faith in our judicial system. In closing, while it would truly be a great loss to our firm if you were to appoint Carla to the bench, it would certainly be a tremendous gain for all of the residents of Wayne County. It has been a pleasure and honor for me to work beside such a tremendous person and I know that the other judges in Wayne County would feel the same way.
