Was thrown into the paralegal position working in Family Law, after about a week of training and only about two hours of hands-on training in the position. The person I was replacing went out early on maternity leave and according to my boss, Pamela Purdy, I was proved in a "trial by fire". I believe that I did amazingly well in being able to pick up new legal billing and calendering programs, helping clients without having much exposure to them and drafting and filing Family Law documents even though I had only some exposure to Family Law, years before. I was the only staff person in a two-attorney office and I had to hit the ground running. I believe that I did very well, considering the circumstances.
