Paralegal must

If you are in the legal field as a paralegal or legal assistant this podcast is a wealth of information from people who are passionate about the field. They provide many resources to help anyone in any stage of their career.

Replace Jill Francisco

I’m sorry, but this lady makes the podcast unbearable to listen to now. She sounds like she’s reading off a prompter or something. Nothing personal, as she seems nice and knowledgeable, but the tone and delivery of the podcast is TERRIBLE. She almost sounds like the people presenting their business idea on Shark Tank. Just bring the guy back or find someone else.

Interview

I am interviewing for a commercial real estate paralegal position. I have some skills they are looking for but not all. Can you please an episode on this field of law? Thanks!
super busy lizzy

Useful, could be better

Informative but does not seem to have a consistent schedule for new episodes, and some episodes can seem overly long at an hour. I've enjoyed both episodes by the new host, would like to see more frequent episodes with a shorter running time.

Need more updates

I've been combing through the archives and have found so really good pieces, but the updates are (at least now) far and between. Would love to hear a podcast on securities arbitration and good old fashioned discovery (as opposed to e-discovery). Over all I highly recommend to any law student and paralegal, etc. Very good stuff.
AZ Commuter

Great career information!

Even though I've been in the legal field over 30 years, I religiously listen to this podcast because Vicki has such great information and I always learn something. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Vicki, and having guests who can help me increase my value to my firm!
Indyca

Wish I could listen

The topics are intriguing. I'm sure they would help this fledgling paralegal. However, I can't listen to the wet clicking tongue sounds. :( Three classes with a speech coach and this would be a home run.
Aikan Akaneiro

Thank you!

This is fantastic!
Charliespyder

Absolutely Great

Absolutely a great show! I've been a paralegal at a small firm for almost four years now and I love it. Thanks and I intend to keep tuning in.

Informative

As a student in the paralegal profession hearing informative information including hiring trends, different associations, and different certifications is extremely helpful. One of my favorite podcasts now and probably going to be a helpful one for my career. Thanks!
