Practical Paralegalism's Recommended Reading This Week

By Lynne DeVenny

ADVERTISEMENTS

I blog for paralegals, legal assistants, legal secretaries, and all the other legal staffers essential to the practice of law - as well as the attorneys who want to get to know us better. Once a week, I share links to a half dozen or so articles focusing on legal news and humor, practice tips and technology.

Here's this week's list:

Who is making your choices? (The Empowered Paralegal) ~ Robert Mongue shares a thoughtful post about finding happiness as a paralegal - and in life. I was also honored to review his forthcoming book, The Empowered Paralegal: Working with the Elder Client, this week, and highly recommend it to anyone working with older clients in any specialty area.

21 Signs You've Been Spoiled Rotten by Technology (PC World) ~ Raise your hand if you've ever "borrowed" a neighbor's Wi-Fi connection, or been banned from Best Buy for touching all the electronic screens.

Bluebook Now Approves Citation to Internet Sources (Jim Calloway's Law Practice Tips Blog)

How Not to Quit Your Job (About.com) ~ Exiting gracefully for a better career opportunity is just as important as landing a new job.

Bargain Friday's TPS Report: Perfect Trouser Pants (Corporette) ~ Slacks are my wardrobe staple when the weather gets cold. Plus, I love Corporette's Bargain Fridays, which shares finds in a price range that not only lawyers and MBAs can afford, but their staff can get excited about, too.

Lawsuit of the Day: Has Donald Duck Been Unfairly Accused? (Above the Law) ~ Things have sure changed a lot since I was a kid, including Disney theme parks.

Elyse Porterfield/HOPA Jenny Answers Your Questions (TechCrunch and The Chive) ~ Everyone who's ever had a bad boss (or even busted his or her boss playing Farmville) wanted Dry-Erase Jenny to be real. She is real. She's just not Jenny.
