Lawyers often rely on secretaries and paralegals to manage their workload, but they must ensure that mistakes made by paralegals do not harm their cases.
Early in my career, I encountered a case with errors due to a paralegal's inexperience, requiring me to draft opposition papers based on those mistakes.
Despite court leniency on technicalities, many cases are dismissed for such errors, emphasizing the need for lawyers to verify paralegal work before submission.
The lawyer claimed his paralegal was responsible for the mistakes, highlighting the importance of thorough review by attorneys on any legal documents.
