Enhance your memo writing and email correspondence skills.
Many paralegals spend much of their time communicating with legal professionals and clients. Excellent communication skills are required in the legal workplace. Paralegals provide data, facts, and research results to their supervisors in the memo format, a written project that demands keen attention to writing, analysis, and clear communication. Paralegals are also required to provide timely updates to clients and to other legal professionals. Email has become the most popular method of communication. Thus, superior email skills must be demonstrated by every paralegal. This topic provides a practical overview as to how you can enhance your memo writing and email correspondence skills.
