Practical Paralegalism's Recommended Reading This Week

By Lynne DeVenny

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.

This week's list is a little longer since I missed last week:

• A Discovery Jewel: Keeping Requests in Focus (Bow Tie Law's Blog) ~ If you wanted it, you should have asked for it.
• Is Your Attorney Nosy? You Should Hope So (Massachusetts Estate Planning & Elder Law) ~ This would be a great handout for your estate clients, and your students studying estate law.
