Capstone
Capstone: a first six months at Whitcombe & Lund
Priya Nair has just joined Whitcombe & Lund, an invented firm of about forty lawyers, as a paralegal in the litigation department. She has a degree in a different subject, a paralegal certificate and a year as a legal secretary. Her supervising lawyer is Senior Associate Daniel Osei. The firm has a busy supply dispute, Stark Joinery against Marlow Builders, which is heading towards a hearing. In her first six months she will meet six situations. At each step, decide what Priya should do and why, using what you have learnt in the seven modules, and then write a one-page plan for her next six months. The people and procedures are invented and general, not those of any one country.

See what is included in All-Access →General education on the work of a paralegal across legal systems, using invented people, firms and cases. It is not legal or career advice.
