[blindlaw] question for paralegals

[Charles Krugman]

I am a certificated paralegal that is thinking about proceeding with a law 
degree on line. As a paralegal in a traditional setting I work under the 
direction of an attorney and duties could include performing research 
drafting documents etc. As a paralegal I can in some instances represent 
people in administrative law hearings such as SSA hearings and other similar 
hearings. Additionally, in some states paralegals who meet criteria can 
perform work for the general public. Here in California these paralegals are 
registered with each county as Legal document assistants or unlawful 
detainer assistants. In this capacity I would be able to prepare and file 
documents for the public with the court but not provide any type of legal 
advice.
Feel free to contact me off list with specific questions. Chuck Krugman,

Just a quick question for the paralegals on the list.

Are any of you licensed lawyers but choose to do paralegal work? I've 
thought of doing this for awhile to make a living and then practice law. 
Also, what are the duties of a paralegal?

Thanks.

Mike
