I am not a paralegal and so my thoughts here may not be the most directly
relevant. I would suggest though that if you do not perceive your self as
an expert in the creation of documents using a variety of programs and in
accessing material from a variety of electronica sources, that you should
improve those skills before attending. INXS ability of electronica content
certainly remains a factor that confronts all of us who are in the legal
community. However those with above average facility in this area will
prevail much more than those who are average or below and if you are
considering such a career, you should be prepared or prepare if you aren’t
already.
