Why did you want to become a Legal Secretary?
I originally wanted to be a Paralegal, but after researching, I found that is was
just too much legal research involved and very time consuming at best. I have
always loved working in the legal field every since my teens. I worked my way
up from office assistant to legal helper. It's always been something I was attracted
to. I had my girls very close together, Lauren is 5 and Katie is 4, with my hands
tied up with them most of the time, I knew I wanted to get into a program that
would be quick and would allow me to go right to work.
How did you stay focused in school?
I stayed focused in school by concentrating on the fact that the economy is really
bad right now and I needed to finish my certification in a field that is constantly
growing and hiring people fresh out of school.
What do you like most about being a Legal Secretary?
I like the professionalism that comes with being a legal secretary. You are in a
environment with people who are very dedicated to their work ethics and take
their work very seriously.
What does a Legal Secretary do?
I prepare correspondence and type legal documents, including pleadings,
motions, briefs, discovery documents and subpoenas.I create spreadsheets; index
and update pleadings and discovery binders; schedule depositions, site
inspections, hearings, closing and meetings. I draft correspondence and routine
legal documents such as deposition notices and legal invoices. I also help with
some research with the paralegals.
What steps do you have to take to become a Legal Secretary?
You have to go to a school who offers a Legal secretarial program of course, which
is normally a community college. Depending how far you want to take your
career, you can get a 1 year certification like myself, or a 2-4 year degree.
How much money can a Legal Secretary Earn?
It can depend on your experience, education, geographic location, whether you
work for a large or small firm etc.., but the pay can range from
$38,000-$85,000.
What advice would you say to anyone trying to get into the field of
Legal Secretary?
Being a Legal Secretary is one of the most rewarding aspects of my life. I would
tell anyone to have a heart for the legal industry. You should be motivated to
help other people who are under extreme stress, Lawyers can really be a handful,
so you really have to have very thick skin for this industry, not shy or timid.
You should be able to multi task very well, be very proficient in office
management, very deadline oriented and be a great team player.

First Kiss
Many people ask, is it right to kiss on the first date? Well, the answer given by most people is yes.
But the kind of kiss approved is just a simple smack on the cheeks, not torrid kissing. This is
because you do not really want the boy to think that you are easy. You have to build a momentum
until you feel that the time is right. This means that the right time for kissing can reach up to the
tenth date. For men, trying to kiss on the first date is not at all that bad. This will really depend on
your speed. Of course, you also have to factor in your determination and skills. Always remember
that your date’s level of comfort is essential in identifying whether it is the right time to kiss or not.

When you bought your car, you already knew that you also have to spend
for auto insurance. It does not follow, however, that you are to take the
first auto insurance offer that comes your way. It is best to shop around
because different auto insurance companies offer various plans and
coverage. See what is available on the market and compare.
When you shop, you get to know which companies offer what kinds of
coverage and at what price. Know that auto insurance rates vary among
the different providers. Ask for quotes from a number of auto insurance
companies and compare the features of their packages. You should be able
to find a great deal for your auto insurance needs. Read on to find what
other actions you can take to help lower your auto insurance rates.
In Auto Insurance Rates, Gender and Age Matter
According to statistics, male drivers cause more accidents than female
drivers. As such, auto insurance companies generally consider women as
less risky than men and offer them (women) lower premium rates. Couples
who want to pay lower premiums on their auto insurance may want to
register the car and get the insurance under the name of the wife. Or, they
may want to change drivers for insurance sake. They may opt to have the
mini-van registered as the husband’s since its base value is comparably
lower than the truck, which could be registered as the wife’s.
Auto insurance companies also factor in the driver’s age when computing
for the premium rates. Younger drivers are classified as high risks
considering their fearless driving tendency. Senior drivers are also
charged higher premiums because they’re generally slow with their
reflexes and their eyesight is less reliable.
Buy Your Auto Insurance from the Same Company that Insures Your
Health and Home
You may want to consider getting your insurance policies to cover your
home, health and car from the same company. It’s just like buying in bulk
and you can easily get discounts on your premium payments. If you feel
satisfied with the service of your current insurer for health and if the
company offers all types of insurance, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t
do more business with them.
Good Drivers Get Better Auto Insurance Rates
The pricing system followed by insurance companies ties up the premium
rates to the risks involved. For auto insurance, that means risks closely
related to the policy holder’s driving habits. A clean driving history will
put you under the low risk category and your auto insurance rates are
significantly lower.
The Advantage of Being Financially Stable
People who can prove their financial stability are normally billed lower
premium rates. So if you are gainfully employed or have other reliable
sources of income and with manageable debt levels, you can leverage on
your financial standing to get cheaper auto insurance rates.

| Weight Loss Myths When it comes to losing weight, it can be difficult separating fact from fiction. Some of the most popular weight loss myths keep people in a rut, practicing the same habits or mistakenly believing that the same actions will promise certain results when they simply do not. Knowing what is fact from fiction will help make certain that you derive the most benefits from your workout. Here is a closer look at some of the most popular weight loss myths and the truth behind the fiction. 1.The More you Sweat, The More Calories Burned Many people have heard this myth most of their lives. They believe that if they sweat more, or perform a short but very intense workout that causes them to sweat heavily, they will burn more calories and lose more weight than if they exercised at a steady pace. The truth is that it is not the amount of sweat you produce, but the time or duration of your workout that determines how many calories you will burn. A steady paced workout that lasts between thirty to forty minutes not only burns more calories than a short session that causes you to break a sweat, but it also increases your metabolism. This helps you lose weight after your workout is finished. Even though it is true that intense workouts that cause your heart rate to increase and your muscles to become sore burn many calories, exercise that promotes endurance burns more calories because of the increased metabolism after you are through working out. 2.You Burn More Calories Lifting Heavy Weights Lifting heavy weights might burn more calories at the onset of the workout, but since you can not continue lifting heavy weights for a long period of time, you won’t burn more calories when compared to other workouts. The most important factor to consider when working out is the time allotted for the workout. It is better to choose an activity that uses resistance bands or low to moderate weights since these workouts can be performed for a longer duration, than it is to perform short sessions of heavy weight lifting. 3.Not Eating Will Cause My Stomach to Shrink The truth is that your stomach is a muscle and though it will expand to hold large amounts of food, it will not shrink if you skip meals or fast. It is better to eat small portions of healthy foods throughout the day, than to try and shrink your stomach by skipping meals entirely. Once you become accustomed to healthy eating, your appetite will decrease, but your stomach muscle will not shrink. It is important to do exercises correctly. You might not only being doing the exercises wrong but there is a possibility of injuring yourself on some exercises if done wrong. Following the instructions on how to use a certain machine or following along with an exercise DVD is the best way to go. That way you take the guessing out of exercising. You can know with full certainty that you are doing the work outs correctly. |
