White Papers

• A trial consists of a compilation of complex processes of courtroom procedures and rituals, which can often change from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and can seem like a strange and mysterious world if you don’t know what those procedures and rituals are. Since ritual and tradition play a large part in the trial process it is integral that as paralegals we make it our business to understand what those procedures are. I think one of the most important things we can do as Paralegals, once our case has reached the Courtroom, is to know the layout of the land. What I mean by this, is “Knowing your Courtroom” - being aware of your surroundings and its inhabitants. Simply put: “Don’t Be a Stranger in a Strange Land.” Jonathon Swift, the author of Gulliver’s Travels, was correct when he said:“… A stranger in a strange land, he is no one: men know him not - and to know not is to care not for.” Think about it, do you really want to be in a venue where no one knows or cares about you? I think not. If you are on trial, you’ve got enough to worry about, right? So let’s start with some rules., Practical Tip: Knowing Your Courtroom, Law, 2011
• Let’s place this in perspective, shall we? Forty years ago, the most advanced piece of technology in a law office — or heck, most any office — was an electric typewriter.  Is that an indicator about the advancement of technology today? We can buy the latest, greatest, newest technology on Monday - only to find out there is hotter, newer technology on Friday. It’s a New Era Folks! It’s the Digital Era - so as Paralegals, it is imperative that we get aboard and stay aboard the Technology Train! To stay up-to-date, we have to be diligent in our efforts. To stay ahead of the curve of technology - we have to practice “thinkology”. Thinkology is the concept which employs the idea that “thinking + technology can be utilized for a common good,” often in a context beyond what it was originally designed for. In essence, we need to think smart about technology, to be smart about technology! To quote Stewart Brand: “Once a new technology rolls over you, if you're not part of the steamroller, you're part of the road.”, New Technology Series, Law, 2012
