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. Pearson shares a cautionary tale of a secretary who tried to hide a mistake and the negative consequences that followed.
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.
Fixing the mistake may involve correcting documents, amending filings, or taking immediate steps to mitigate the impact on clients or cases.
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.

What is Panic Mode Paralegal? It's that state you're in when you're new to your career, you haven't had any kind of structured on-the-job training, the attorney brings you another last-minute piecemeal project that needs to be done, and you panic, wondering and guessing if you're doing it the right way or not.
It doesn't have to be that way! In this episode, Ann discusses the Litigation Paralegal Career Accelerator method that helps new litigation paralegals move from Panic Mode Paralegal to Confident Case Strategist.
Join Ann inside the Litigation Paralegal Boot Camp if you want to accelerate your paralegal career. She holds monthly live group coaching calls with you for one year to support you as you work through the course video lessons.

Attorneys have a reputation for being procrastinators. We’ve all seen the memes and jokes about it. They’ve all seen them too. So we assume that’s just the way it is. It’s always been that way, and we have to get used to it.
What if it didn’t have to be that way?
Can you prevent all rush projects with what I’m going to talk about today? No. But what if you could reduce them by 50%? Even more of a reduction would be better, but imagine if you’re currently dealing with one rush project per day, and you could get that down to 2 or 3 per week. 
The result is less stress for you and a better work product. Maybe even fewer late nights or weekends.
Listen to the episode for some actionable strategies to reduce the number of rush projects that you have.
