SUMMARY:SEALA'S 2026 Annual Seminar/Pro Bono: Closing the Justice Gap in Georgia/Self Care
DESCRIPTION:Southeastern Association of Legal Assistants (SEALA)\nSession #1: Multi-Paralegal \nSession 1 Agenda: 2026-SEALA-SEMINAR-BROCHURE-needs-NALA-approval.doc \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Assets: I want to discuss how our contribution as legal assistants and paralegals is important. In my experience\, I have become efficient in drafting pleadings\, help prep for trials\, help with research\, and all of these skills have allowed the attorney I work for to focus on the bigger issues or bigger aspects of the cases. Our qualities and skills are a huge asset.\n2. Healthy Relationships: In this discussion I will explain how building healthy professional relationships with the attorney you work under\, as well as your co-workers\, help you become more efficient. You build trust\, making it for an easier work environment and ultimately enjoyable. Of course it is not always smiles and laughter\, but having a good relationship also helps during busy\, stressful and tense times. Also learning how the attorney works and what they need/like.\n3. Specializing in areas: I find it very useful to specialize in areas. I am not saying stick to one area. In this firm\, Herb specializes in Maritime Law\, specifically an area in worker’ compensation. While we do other areas as well\, I have become very familiar with this area. This allows me to manage the cases better and alleviates the attorney’s workload. \nSession #2: Pro Bono: Closing the Justice Gap in Georgia \nSession 2 Agenda: 2026-SEALA-SEMINAR-BROCHURE-needs-NALA-approval1.doc \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Participants will learn about the justice gap in Georgia and the Savannah and outer Savannah region.\n2. Participants will gain insight into the most vulnerable populations affected by the justice gap\, especially in rural counties.\n3. Participants will learn how Pro Bono legal services closes the justice gap\, offers professional enrichment opportunities to legal professionals\, and contributes to opportunities out of poverty \nSession #3: Self Care \nSession 3 Agenda: 2026-SEALA-SEMINAR-BROCHURE-needs-NALA-approval2.doc \nLearning Objectives: \n1.
