I was given the opportunity to shadow a paralegal in a family law firm located on West Georgia Street in Vancouver, BC. I was able to learn about the various documents and bindings that paralegals and lawyers prepare for before trial. I was also given the opportunity to file court documents at the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
