    21st Century Paralegals Research Paper

    The paralegal field has evolved over the years. The paralegal profession is one of the fastest growing fields today and can be a very demanding career. Paralegals have changed in what their responsibilities are and how they are classified. Employment opportunities for paralegals are expected to grow faster than projected than the average for all occupations through 2014. Paralegals have learned more about the law, and now can do more than just be a legal secretary, as they may have done in years past. They also have more room for advancement within their employment, such as becoming a legal administrator.…

    Paralegal Studies

    As I have reviewed a few cases within the Ivy Tech Library, I have found that there is nothing that can be done at the specific time to resist unlawful police entry in Indiana. The matter of the unlawful entry in each case I studied had to be resolved in court or the Court of Appeals. The first case I wish to bring to attention to is Sandridge verses State, Court of Appeals. Two officers, responding to a phone call, are refused entry by Steven Sandridge. They forced the door open and wrestled Steven to the couch. At the couch Steven was chemically sprayed and cuffed. He argued in his appeal that he was wrongly arrested by the officers who forced entry without a warrant. The Court of Appeals found that entry was lawful under the Fourth Amendment: Article 1 Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution. At the time the police officers had responded to an emergency 911 call. The officers had no idea if someone was in danger, injured, or could injure another.…

    The Paralegal Career and Why?

    The Paralegal Career and Why?

    When I first thought about becoming a paralegal, I was in working for a Trust and Probate attorney who also had a Title company. I enjoyed the data gathering, research, meeting people and understanding their needs and helping them find peace of mind. I had also just become interested in John Grisham novels, which, granted, does not truly represent the legal field in the most correct light, but they are legal thrillers nonetheless. For some reason the combination of these two things made me think about pursuing a career in the legal field. I knew for certain that I did not want to go to law school, since I was a Mom with a lot of responsibility. I took an on-line course to become a legal assistant. However, when we moved, I had to change my career as I was offered a very challenging position in the insurance field. I studied to get my California Life, Health, Long Term Care, Property and Casualty licenses. Then my job required me to get my Series 7 and 66. These were all on-lines classes, they were convenient and could be obtained around my work schedule. I am a classroom-oriented person. So, when I was laid off, I concluded that this was my chance to get back into the legal field and a paralegal would be a happy medium. In the meantime, my son graduated from law school and passed the California Bar. I now find myself wanting a job in a local law firm. So here I am now, writing a paper on the career that I now find myself eagerly…

    Assess The Influence Of Childhood Experiences On Adult Relationships (9 + 16 Marks)

    Bowlby in 1969 proposed the internal working model which suggested that early childhood experiences would determine the adult relationships that child would have in the future. Infants primary attachment style is carried through into adult life so would expect the same expectations in later relationships. Shaver et al suggested three behavioural systems that are acquired in infancy which are attachment which is related to Bowlbys research, care giving where infants learn to care for each other through modelling the behaviour of the primary attachment figure and sexuality systems which is learnt in relation to early attachment so an individual with avoidant attachment will be more likely to hold the view that sex without love is pleasurable. In some extreme cases a child’s internal working model leads them to develop an attachment disorder which means they would resist or reject the mutual intimacy of loving family relationships. Often these disorders occur due to abuse and neglect during infancy which has led to them not developing a close relationship with someone who can comfort and reassure them. Springer et al. in 2007 found that individuals who experience physical abuse have negative effects on adult…
