Law office management is an integral part of a New Jersey attorney's successful practice.  When it comes to building an efficient and effective legal team, paralegals are essential to attorneys' success. In this course, Ms. Seibert explains all aspects of hiring a paralegal, the education and certification process required for paralegals, and the national paralegal associations. She will also go over the Model Rules of Professional Conduct to discern the tasks that paralegals can legally and ethically complete for lawyers and what they are not permitted to do. Ms. Seibert concludes this informative and useful course for New Jersey attorneys by discussing the different types of billable tasks and non-billable tasks performed by a paralegal.
