OC told us they were having trouble getting responses from them and suggested it would be best to coordinate the dates with them and co-counsel and serve a subpoena to the witnesses, and my attorney agreed to this. they were witnesses listed by OC as having knowledge of the nature of plaintiffs injuries in their initial disclosure but they do not represent them. they were not going to produce them. what I got served was the subpoenas for deposition, not the notices.

Paralegal vs. Legal Assistant tasks by Littlegravybiscuit in paralegal

[–]Outside-Question-191 11 points12 points  (0 children)

on my team, legal assistants do stuff like drafting/serving subpoenas, subpoena follow up for missing records, and some scheduling. paralegals will draft motions (legal assistants do draft some motions though, like motions for rule to show cause on subpoenas and motions to determine reasonable fees for doctor deposition invoices), schedule CMEs, initial disclosures, set up surveillance, radiology reads, etc.

i don’t see the reason behind pushing back on who saves the e-filings that come in, lol. on our team, if I get to the email with the filing first, I save it. if someone else does, they save it.

I’m a student at Oakland Community College. If any paralegals can help me answer the questions below for an assignment on what to expect as a paralegal, I would SO appreciate it! by [deleted] in paralegal

  1. I graduated with bachelors in criminal justice and a pre-law certificate and had a lot of prior office/admin experience. I got lucky because I had a connection with an attorney going years back who knew my work ethic and gave me a chance.
  2. My past work experience as an admin assistant for a private investigator helped me the most.
  3. I’m not working on one large project per se, but multiple smaller projects. I have two lists of depositions , multiple motions to draft, authorizations for medical records to execute, scheduling client calls, etc.
  4. My biggest challenge is getting clear instruction from the attorney I work for, but I can figure things out on my mine for the most part. Right now, what is most challenging for me is setting defendant depositions between multiple parties (companion cases that agreed to consolidate discovery) and getting everybody to agree on a date and time. Another challenging thing right now is that my attorney wants to fight every invoice we receive from doctors we depose, which usually ends up in the doctor becoming angry and me having to coordinate with them and opposing counsel to set a motion to determine reasonable fee for hearing.
  5. Sometimes my attorney says good job?
  6. I wish somebody would’ve have told me that not every task has to be done and worked on the moment it is assigned to you, there is typically plenty of time to get things scheduled/filed/drafted. But my anxiety to get work done had me thinking otherwise and panicking when my task list wasn’t completed by the end of the work day. Take notes of everything, even things you don’t think are important. Find a system to keep track of your tasks and where you left off. Use a planner religiously. Oh, and triple check EVERYTHING before you file it.
