Defining the Essential Question

(1) What is your EQ?
What is the best way to become a litigation paralegal?

(2) Define the words in your EQ to make sure we are on the same page regarding what your EQ means.

Best: Which of the answers would be most helpful in getting hired as a litigation paralegal
Become: Begin working at a law firm or law office
Litigation paralegal: A litigation paralegal is a person who helps an attorney research cases and helps prepare for trials.

(3) What are some possible answers to your EQ so far? 

-  Knowledge of the whatever field of law the attorney you want to work with specializes in
- Understanding legal procedures
- Ability to research precedent related to the case at hand

(4) What has been your most important source and why? 

My most important source has been paralegaltoday.com. I have found several very useful articles on this site, and all were written either by paralegals or attorneys. These articles have explained various aspects  of the paralegal career, including the types of paralegals you can find, certification, and advice on helping attorneys once you've started.
