Assisting with the Pretrial Conference

The best thing I ever did early in my litigation paralegal career, was to ask to attend a pretrial conference with the attorney. 

For the first few years, I had several cases go to trial that I attended, but I’d never personally attended the pretrial conference for any of those cases.  Usually, the attorney would give me a to-do list and tell me what they needed for the conference. 

It’s difficult to know how you can be more of an asset to your attorney team if you don’t have the opportunity to see the big picture. 

Watch this video for a quick tip on assisting with the pretrial conference.
