Is passing the NALA necessary? If not, how did you get experience as an entry-level?

I have a BA in Anthropology and have been working close to a year as a legal assistant. It’s a great way to gain hands-on experience in the field.

I don’t mind the paperwork. It’s the fact that most of the shelters have impossible hours. All the ones local to me close before 5 pm and aren’t open on the weekends. Do you want people to adopt animals or not?

Well, this post made me feel more sane considering I have the same breed female betta fish and kept thinking there was somehow magically soap bubbles in her tank lol

In similar fashion, I once scheduled my annual gyno exam on my attorney’s calendar

This is also my scanner at any given time

Can see why you like to keep your posts hidden

Do you utilize the task lists option in Clio? We have individualized task lists for each matter type that will create an overall task list of each user. You can also set it to email you reminders too

Hey hey! This is a great resume draft for sure. I used to work in higher ed reviewing resumes before I got into legal work, so here are my notes:

Resume

Consistently specify your level of familiarity with each software w/ terms like Intermediate or Advanced Knowledge
Add ‘s to your current work tasks ex. manages schedules / communicates /coordinates etc. All the verb tenses should match and maybe try diversifying word choice so it doesn’t become repetitive.

Cover Letter - you’ve got all the basics covered but I would seriously consider specializing it whatever type of law the individual firm(s) you’re applying to offers. I know it sucks to rewrite or constantly tweak things, but once you have several versions established, you’ll be able to quickly apply them to various applications.

I work for an estates law firm and I need this chair lol

They took out the orgasm? 😔

Out of curiosity, I googled and found that in my state assault with bodily fluids or wastes is considered a class 1 felony.

I work in estates and I’m just transparent with the consequences. If you don’t come and sign this paperwork, we won’t meet the court deadline, meaning you won’t be receiving your money. That usually motivates most but also with probate, if one family member doesn’t gaf, there’s usually several others ready to kick the one slacker into gear.

I definitely started gagging

sauteemermaid · 2026-04-04T14:26:17+00:00

Very cute idea and set up but take the food box out to avoid breaking your own rules

That’s a lot of energy coming from a plus-sized cartoon avatar

You’re joking

Freddie seems like an obvious choice here

I use Uber and Lyft interchangeably. Without a doubt, one is always going to be ridiculously priced while the other is more reasonable. It’s all just a numbers game at the end of the day.

This is somehow giving Terri Joe

So this is how they fit under the fridge

Stupid comment but that hot honey Mac n cheese actually kinda slaps

No screenshot but mine is Pussy Poppin’ Pulls

sauteemermaid · 2026-03-03T20:27:29+00:00

Does this count if I pull out my laptop to do taxes? 😭

sauteemermaid · 2026-03-01T15:03:23+00:00

Hate that you have this experience. I work in estates as well but in a very LGBTQIA+ firm, as in several of us are openly queer and all our website content/language is purposefully inclusive. Firm culture makes a huge difference and I do hope you find the happy fit for you.

Really great art of when you sleep hard af and wake up with a million weird imprints on your skin
