BEST PRACTICES 2012
The Bluebooking Series was launched in the fall of 2011 and a second rotation is
currently being taught this spring of 2012. Both have been huge successes! The
talented instructors helped students gain valuable skills that were critical for their
jobs. One student wrote, “I’m a paralegal supervisor, and this information will help
me to instruct my staff.” Another student said, “I think this should be offered as a
part of on boarding for all paralegals.”
With the successful launch of the Bluebooking Series, the Division Training
Coordinators have continued to reach out to the Training Committee for assistance
with providing more training opportunities for their staff. The Training Committee
has responded by arranging for a number of programs to be taught at the
Department including a LexisNexis Paralegal Certificate of Mastery Program, an
Advanced Legal Research Class on Westlaw (offered as a free CLE course), and a
Westlaw Paralegal Program. The Training Committee looks forward to creating new
content, as well as facilitating more training opportunities, in order to continue
supporting the work of the Department.
