about that thing...with the thing...
Feb. 1st, 2012 07:14 pmthe 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.
