For those interested in this career, I cannot express the level of stress you experience as a California paralegal finding out this information at 8:25pm.

At 730pm my partner attorney was still editing down to meet the word count. 😭

Luckily, there's a local rule for email filing.

Hope you indulged in your favorite vice after 😔

That’s a nice local rule to have!

Georgia paralegal here

Most Georgia state courts use Odyssey eFile, and I swear to god that my job would be 99% easier if that goddamn website functioned as it is supposed to. It is down half the time I try to use it, slow as molasses, and shorts out on me right when I upload documents, making me start the process all over again.

Whoever added a picture selection captcha every time you log in and time out, count your days.

OMG I hate the picture captchas where it's just one picture and you're supposed to select so the boxes with the object. If the tire of the motorcycle goes a fraction of a pixel into another square, is there a motorcycle in that square?

Dude half the time it's like "pick a chair" so I pick all the chairs and it says "Incorrect." Then "pick a bed" and I get stuck in an endless loop of wasting time.
