Well I'm happy to say that I have just about survived my first two weeks of paralegal classes. The first class I am taking is Criminal Law. So far I have enjoyed the topics that are involved in this area of law (maybe because my hubby is a cop so I like to tell him everything I am learning or quiz him to see if I know more than he does...lol). But no really, I have enjoyed the text reading so far, and my instructor is great. I attend 2 live lectures a week and so far they have been very informative and interesting. My instructor has been so helpful to me as a new student in explaining things and walking me through several different ways to conduct legal research-which let me tell you can be quite confusing. Who knew trying to look up a specific case would be so tricky. I'm sure once I figure out how exactly to use LEXIS (an online legal research website program) things will seem like a piece of cake, but for now I'll keep on pushing through it.
