So to start off this is where we all usually park. This is the door that we go in, although you can go in the front door but the other attorney usually unlocks that door so we don't have to. The first door on your left and the first two doors on your right belong CASA, we do interact with them a little on our CPS cases. The second door on your left is the girl's bathroom and the next door is the men's. Here is the Pepsi machine... it's not much but then again this is a small building. This is our office, and that one is the other attorney that is in this building, we work with her a lot on having mutual clients and conflicts in cases.
So here in the office this is the other secretary's desk, she mostly handles the paperwork. DO NOT try to do something that you think might help because she is almost 66 years old and she has her system of doing things and don't mess with it. Here is your desk, you will mainly answer the phone and do monthly reports. Also you will pull files for the next few up coming days so that when a client calls that we will already have the file pulled and ready for our attorney to talk to them about their case. Here is our semi-rec-room, this desk is for our intern when he comes and helps our attorney. Here is the fridge you can put anything you want in there and you don't have to label it because there isn't that many people who work here.
Just a few more things. When you're looking for any type of supplies like pens, pencil, staples, sticky notes, folders, well any office thing you need, you will find them in these drawers. Also you will find the garbage bags because if you take out our garbage without having to be asked the other secretary really appreciates. You will find juvenile files in these file cabinets, felony files in this drawer, misdemeanor files in this drawer and ones set for trial in these drawers. Lastly, if our attorney or the other secretary asks you to do something, you do it no if, and, or but. If you follow these instructions it will make life much easier here in the office.
**I work for an attorney as a legal secretary just to let you know :)**
I bet there is lots of juicy drama in a legal office. People around town, doing bad things, messy divorces, weirdos wanting free help. I would have like to read a sample. A felony maybe. Lots to do in a legal office. Good job on getting procedure down no ifs ands or buts about that.
ReplyDeleteThanks and the attorney that I work for is a Public defender. So when you hear... "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can not afford and attorney one will be appointed to you." Well that's her :)
