any business that has need for legal functions or
necessities. Paralegals can also obtain the LAVC Special
LDA (Legal Document Assistant) Bonus Course at a
ridiculously low charge in lightening fast time and
start your own Paralegal Servicing business. A wide
range of duties and functions may properly be delegated
by a lawyer to paralegals and paralegals are often the
foundation for any legal firm.

Highlighting the Basics of a Paralegal with
Strategic Considerations
4 Basic Skills You can be Creative with as a Paralegal
student at LAVC that prepare you for your exciting and
rewarding career.
Interviewing
One of the essential paralegal skills is that of
strategic interviewing. This is based on the fact that
frequently and consistently, Paralegals are assigned to
do interviews with clients, witnesses and others who are
seeking the legal services of a lawyer. While
Paralegals, can not give advice nor set legal fees, it
is the ability to structure questions and retrieve
information in these interviews in a strategic manner
that can set a Paralegal apart from others.
Research
Developing your own
unique and strategic research skills is a big advantage.
Paralegals must know how to conduct researches as they
are frequently tasked to conduct statutory case law and
other legal research, which will then be reviewed by the
lawyers at the firm. Develop your own structural format
and strategy for doing your research and make note of
unique sources will help you excel in this function.
Also, practice the 'research' behind the 'research'
method that can give you some important elements you
won't get from just initial searching methods.
Writing Styles
Writing skills
are a very important ability, as a paralegal is often
assigned to draft legal documents of all sorts, usually
depending on the category of law the firm you're working
with is involved in, and those documents would be
subject to review by lawyers. Though it is said
attorneys are in the communication business, that's not
complete, they're more in the 'Persuasive Business',
employ techniques along those lines and you'll impress
your firm. Note, this is an area that plays into our
'Familiarity' Bio addendum we feature throughout our
articles. Having chosen the category of business
(Business Industry SIC category) provides you with a
sound knowledge of the type of firm you'd be applying
your career to, such as Entertainment, Music,
Agriculture, Robotics, Maritime and many, many more.
Communication skills - The 2 Way Street
This is a factor you'll use every day, however, it's
the ability to structure and develop those skills in
such a way that you'll present confidence from those
around you that you'll be directly dealing with. From
dealing with lawyers to clients it is important for
paralegals that they know how to communicate well. This
not only applies to the Paralegal but to the SHR
(Strategic Human Resource) category as well. Just
realize that just giving the impression of confidence is
not enough, you need to generate confidence from those
you are communicating with, it's a two way street.
All of the skills mentioned above are also expanded
on with our advanced and uniquely creative articles,
tips, videos and audio you'll find right here at
LegalFieldCareers.com. That along with developing your
unique Familiarity Bio Addendum give you a huge
advantage of others, so take advantage of it while
you're taking your course, it will expand your career
potential!
The WASC Accreditation Benefit Recognized by USDE -
Your Paralegal Certificate Achievement Now Has Strong
Backing
The basic above mentioned skills are enhanced by the
program course you take in your Paralegal Program,
which, at LAVC, is WASC accredited. WASC provides the
educational accreditation that is granted by the Western
Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), one of the
six regional accrediting agencies in the United States.
WASC is responsible for accrediting schools in the
states of Hawaii and California, along with various
United States territories, located in the Pacific Rim or
East Asia area that might need or want accreditation
recognized by the United States. WASC is recognized as
an accrediting agency by the United States Department of
Education, and WASC accreditation, along with
accreditation by the other five regional accreditors,
enjoys a high level of acceptance within the academic
community.
Your Paralegal GOLD
Standard for Accreditation Your WASC Certified
Achievement Regional vs National - and the WINNER Is
-
In the United States, the gold
standard of accreditation is that offered by the
Regional Accrediting Agencies, including WASC. Degrees
and diplomas that are earned at schools that hold
accreditation through these bodies have a higher
acceptance rate among both government and private
employers as well as educational institutions.
National Accreditation is of course legitimate but - it
is generally not as well known as Regional Accreditation
as many employers and schools are only familiar with
Regional accreditation.
So when you read through
many of our advanced and unique Articles on being
creative with expanding your career options and
decisions, you can do so with a sound comfort zone
knowing whatever choice you make, you'll be making it
with a solid certified backing.
NO - THIS - IS - NOT - AN - AD!' What Sets the
Los Angeles Valley College Paralegal Academy Apart'
Lower Cost - Saving Time - Avoiding Debt Smart
and Strategic vs Herd of Sheep
At the risk
of sounding like a Used Car Salesman hammering you with
sales pitch after sales pitch, what we've been featuring
in our creative articles and tips are very valuable
Strategic and Creative Factors. The LAVC Paralegal
program is one of the lowest costs around, you graduate
in 7 months and you can escape the student debt trap.
When you break these 3 elements down, you can see the
importance of realizing these factors. For example,
don't think of it as 'Graduating' in 7 months, think of
it as 'Starting Your Career' in 7 months. Don't think of
it as 'Saving Time' think of it as 'Faster Career
Building', and don't think of it as 'Avoiding Student
Debt', think of it as 'Accumulating Earnings'.
Look at it this way, maybe a student at a major
university can start off their career earning $20k a
year more, but took them 2 1/2 years and accumulated
$70,000 in student debt. How many years is it going to
take them to pay off that debt? 3, 4, more? While you
just keep earning and earning right out of the gate
while they're still in class and they keep paying and
paying! By the time they're done paying off all that
burden, they're over 1 and 1/2 years behind starting
they're career and 3 years behind where you are in both
earnings and potential promotions, or if you're starting
your own Paralegal / LDA business, 3 years behind your
growth factor. These are extremely important factors and
considerations that you'll see make the LAVC Paralegal
Academy the Smart and Strategic choice! But - then
again, to your credit, maybe this is why you chose LAVC
to begin with.
Students from all over Southern
California are finding out what we've been saying here
on the LFC site for years, high cost, time and debt can
be avoided! With Student debt soaring in the
Trillions of Dollars, students taking the LAVC Paralegal
program course can avoid all 3 of those headaches.
Advance Registration - Securing Your Seat - Securing
Your Paralegal Career
Here's the other often overlooked factor, one-on-one
atmosphere, vs being crammed in with the cattle. By
reserving your seat in advance you'll be securing your
career and you can begin making your strategy and plans
ahead of time. The LAVC classes are not 200, 100 or even
50 students like so many other institutions. While this
sounds good, it is even more important as that
one-on-one ability allows you access to often overlooked
insight into your course program education by having
more direct contact with a highly skilled instructor. It
gives everyone in the class at chance to get unique
questions asked that they normally may not feel
comfortable with in the time restraints of a larger
class size and with input from other students that would
never even be considered in huge classroom settings. It
gives you an advantage to be more creative as what
you'll experience in class is going to be different from
what you'll experience when you start your career.
The LFC / LAVC Advantage Selecting your own
specific business industry of your choice
What is probably one of the most overlooked but
potentially beneficial factors one can make when
pursuing your career is that of targeting and choosing
to apply your new career to an industry you know
something about and more importantly would really enjoy
being in. Throughout the LFC site we stress this factor
and that is why we feature the 'Familiarity Factor' in
our unique articles and tips. Take a few minutes and
scan through some of our recent articles on creating
your Familiarity Bio and you'll see all of the huge
benefits to this. This applies equally to whether you
are seeking a career at a traditional law firm or
industry business or going into business on your own as
a Paralegal / LDA consultant servicing company.

Maxim Paralegal Tip # 1 - August 2019
Paralegal Calendar
Dates - Recourse and Liability by Jonathan Arnold,
Esq.
Q:
As a Paralegal working for a law
firm you know that one of your main responsibilities is
to draft client calendars and ensure accurate dates. But
do you know what your/your firm's liabilities and client
recourse is should you mis-calendarize causing the
firm's client to incur an adverse outcome or financial
loss?
A: Any attorney that
uses the services of a paralegal is ultimately liable to
the client for any harm that results from the
paralegal's negligence or misconduct. Put another way,
the duties that an attorney owes to the client are
non-delegable, meaning that it is the attorney who bears
the brunt for mistakes made within the attorney's
office. That being said, no attorney is going to be
happy (to put it mildly) with errors -- especially
calendaring errors -- made by his or her paralegal(s).
The key here is to know not only how to compute dates
(ranging from applicable Statute of Limitations dates to
any relevant transaction dates) but then TO BEAT THOSE
DATES so that things like court filings, discovery
responses, revised contracts and the like are not only
calendared for completion before they are due, but also
sent/filed A FEW DAYS EARLY. How to do this is just one
of the important subjects we cover in our Paralegal
program.
Familiarizing Reminder
Familiarizing yourself with what is covered here will
give you the appearance of a knowledgeable source in the
Independent Production Industry whether seeking a career
at a firm specializing in this field or going in on your
own with your own business. So if you feel the Indie
Production Industry is for you, then while you're
preparing for your career taking your courses, add this
to your list to familiarize yourself with as you go and
you'll be ready when you graduate.
