Hot Topics Paralegal


Keeping Client Confidentiality- Clients come to a lawyer to get legal advice and to hire them to take their cases to trial or to file paperwork. Everything they say is supposed to stay with that lawyer and the paralegal. If any of the information is told the whole case could be compromised. In today’s world this is harder than ever to do.


If Paralegals should be licensed- This would mean that they would be allowed to appear in court on behalf of the client. They would also be allowed to perform divorces, will executions, and real estate transactions. This would be a huge step for the Paralegal profession because they would be more of a lawyer than a secretary.

    I like the licensing issue. It seems as though in your profession that would add an enormous amount of work to you from the lawyer.

    It seems that the issuing of licenses to paralegals would be a positive thing for the legal profession. I would like to hear more on this topic, as I am curious about the arguments of those against it.

    I like the confidentiality issue. It is hard to keep confidentiality so strict and then how do you prove that someone did tell someone else. If it was a verbal conversation with no-one around, what proof is there? This could be an interesting topic.
