Criminal law and procedure are now more interesting and clear than ever before. Your career and life experiences are inspirational to all, but especially to me as an African-American female and the first attorney in my family (once I pass the bar :-). I see that you were a diplomat too. Wow! I can't wait to learn more about your experiences in law and government. I will be in touch as soon as the bar exam is over. Regards, D'Lorah Professor Birdsong,

However, that does not necessarily mean that paralegal jobs will go away. Most likely, the nature of the work for paralegals will upgrade to more sophisticated work. In other words, the work will now look differently.
