[quote=Anonymous]Former first-year associate here. I never knew how much I could ask my secretary to do. I'm not a micromanager, but I didn't know what her workload was from the other lawyers she supported. I might have given her too much without knowing it, or broken other unwritten rules. I never had that problem with the paralegals, because they always had very defined roles. They told me just what they did and knew much better than I how to do it. In telling me so clearly, they also implicitly told me what they didn't do. If you can find a way to educate this young 'un on how he can best "use" you, you'll make your life much better as well as those of every paralegal and assistant who work for him in the future. Perhaps other paralegals in your firm can give you advice on how to train up the newbies?[/quote]
