In this episode, host Ann discusses the topic of making mistakes as a paralegal and how to handle them. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and assessing the mistake, notifying the attorney, fixing the mistake, and reflecting and learning from it.

Key Takeaways:
  • Mistakes happen to everyone, even attorneys, and it's important to acknowledge and address them rather than trying to hide or cover them up.

  • When a mistake occurs, it is crucial to assess how it happened and take responsibility for it. Avoid making excuses or blaming others.

  • Communicating the mistake to the attorney should be done with honesty, professionalism, and a focus on potential solutions.

  • Reflection and learning from the mistake is essential to prevent similar errors in the future. Consider implementing workflows or procedures to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
