I interview Brandi Lynn Everette she told how many years she gone to college, who she work for, what she does in her job, what skill a person have do her in job, when she get go court, what kind lawyer she work for, is job too stressful for her, she have know as a lawyer does, does a lawyer look for degree when hiring or work skills, is it easy to find a job after someone get their degree, they have to have computer skills and yes I would still they being a paralegal.
First, it took Mrs. Everette three and half three to get her paralegal online. Sometime it take two or four years to get paralegal degree. It also might take long if a paralegal going for a high education.

...They have to go two to four to college, paralegal have good people skills they make the client feel comfort when interview them, they have good speaking skills so they answer the phone. They have able dictate things from tapes that there boss does. They be research and file things. A paralegal only go to court when their boss need help. A paralegal does not have know as much as a lawyer. The job can be stressful and rewarding by helping people. A lawyers look for a degree and work skills so because someone have a degree does not mean their going get the job without work skills. It not easy to get a paralegal especailly if person does have the work skills they need for the job. The job ethics problems but some paralegal do not going through those problems. I would like to become paralegal. I know it can be stressful work but what job is not. Every career is stressful

People are represented in court by two kinds of lawyers, court-appointed lawyers and public defenders, which mean "hired lawyers" (Green, 2001). People that have higher income can hire their own lawyers. The lower and middle-income people are mainly the ones who rely on court appointed lawyers. These people don't have the money to hire a lawyer. Court appointed lawyers are not working in your best interest for many reasons.
