This question requires some serious soul searching. If you are thinking about partnering, the
first question to ask yourself is who your partner will be.
Remember how frustrating it was when you argued with your college roommate about who

business partner about how much money you are owed or how the office files should be kept.

4—LEGAL EMPLOYMENT WEEKLY
IS COMPASSION ON
YOUR RESUME?
BY: Caren Mansfield, a mem-
ber of the Illinois Paralegal
Association
It was brought home to me
rather forcefully this week
how important a paralegal
can be in a client’ís life. Our
business is the law and its
applications yet it can be
overlooked that the law is
applied to living, breathing
people.
I received a call from a
client. The client is no longer
working due to problems with
employment, is under finan-
cial stress, has recently moved
and is considering divorce
and is facing surgery.
Because of all these factors I
was one of the few persons to
speak with the client over a
period of days. What the
client needed more than pro-
cedural information, contact
with counsel or other infor-
mation was just someone to
listen who had some knowl-
edge of his problems. The
conversation did not last long
but by the time we concluded
our conversation the tone was
definitely more upbeat than
when it began. Those few
minutes of my time were part
of my work day. For the
client it was more. The com-
ments I made reflected con-
cern and injected some com-
mon sense to thoughts that
had been dwelled upon at
length by the client.
Will I bill the client for
that time, probably not. I will
record it but more likely than
not the client will not see the
time spent as a charge. This is
the part of the paralegal posi-
tion not usually listed on
resumes. Good listener, car-
ing.
In paralegal classes we are
told we may be primary con-
tact with clients and we may
as a part of our duties inter-
view witnesses to solicit infor-
mation. We learn how to
identify ourselves, what basic
information to gather and the
format in which we may pre-
pare it. We learn how to
research the issues of the
matter. What we are not
taught is that speaking with a
client may involve a box of
kleenex and many breaks. Or
speaking with a witness may
mean chatting to make the
witness comfortable with who
you are regardless of the mat-
ters you will be discussing.
Does this mean every witness
or client you speak with
should be aware of your life
history? No. It means you
must use your judgment when
you speak with people. As a
paralegal who must contact
witnesses in employment liti-
gation matters I am aware
that many potential trial wit-
