STUDENT SECTION MEETING Hosted by the Orange County Paralegal Association & Cerritos Community College

 

Keynote Speaker:

 

Discovery begins soon after a lawsuit is filed and often does not stop until shortly before trial. During discovery, the parties ask each other and third parties for information about the facts and issues of the case. Information is gathered formally through written questions (known as "interrogatories"), etc. Come learn the ins and outs of discovery and why it’s so important in the role of an entry level paralegal practicing in litigation.

Recruiting & Job Opportunities:

Come hear about the current job outlook for entry level paralegals. In addition, learn effective resume writing tips such as when to use bullet points, avoiding first person pronouns, and when to use cover letters and much more….

Technology Software:

One of the hottest trends in the legal profession is e-discovery. The software used by most law firms to manage e-discovery is Concordance by Lexis. Come learn the fundamental features of this powerful litigation tool that could land you your first job.

What are the differences between a Law Firm and In-house Paralegal?

Paralegals will start their careers in either a law firm or corporate legal department but do you know the distinction within each environment? Are there billable hours? How are paralegals classified? Is there a significant difference in salaries? Come learn all you need to know about your future work environment.

Networking:

Come prepared to network! This is a great opportunity to meet fellow students and potential employers.  Bring your resume and business cards.
