the tour/interview I had went great. I got the impression only the attorneys or courthouse paralegals are paid. the rest are volunteers. Originally I was just going to be given a tour but the attorney I shadowed asked if I wanted to help some litigants fills out their forms and after looking them over, I saw they were forms I'd filled out in class for practice. I helped 3 people with that allowing the attorney to work with some other people.

at the end of the day I decided that I'd give it a try for the next 3 months or so. I go back Friday morning for a half day - opening to lunch. I'll also set up my schedule for next week. I'm thinking of Monday, Wednesday, Friday - their busiest days.

I was only there for 3 hours and the 2 attorneys and other volunteers remembered my name. I felt kind of bad because I couldn't remember everyone's name.

That sounds great!

Having hands on experience to list on your resume is always a good thing!

Thanks. I'm sure it will. I've been told that employers like seeing volunteer experience on resumes, especially when it pertains to the job you're applying for.

Next month I'll update my resume and list this under my volunteer section.

Oh yeah, I can totally understand that. Things are never as bad as you think they might be in your head. I'm a huge victim of that one lol
