One of my favorite things to do as a DV advocate is explaining legal processes to folks, and I've been eyeballing a paralegal certification as a potential track since before COVID, although I don't want to work for an attorney.

Except! Legal document assistants (LDAs) are a thing, and they basically do EXACTLY what I already do with family law restraining orders as a non-lawyer plus EVEN MORE stuff, and honestly it sounds precisely like what I've been looking for????

I think that if I don't get into the Egyptology program I applied for this fall, imma go ahead and shoot for a paralegal certification instead. :D :D :D

#in ten years i'm gonna end up managing a calligraphy hustle and a legal doc/notary hustle and a faith-based peer counselor hustle #me: how tf am i gonna fit that all under a single umbrella to streamline self-employed income reporting #my brain: lean really fuckin hard into the 'scribe of thoth' imagery :D #hound barks #i should be wrapping up this art AA soon #and i'm gonna wait to shoot for a doctorate until i get my student loans taken care of in like five years and i no longer have to #work full-time at a nonprofit #so after the art but before the ph.d. - paralegal nonsense!#i'll probably be going to school for the rest of my life and honestly i love the idea
