Let me introduce myself!

My name is Claire. I am an international student. I am currently enrolled in Legal Office Administration Program at Conestoga College to be a legal assistant.

I would like to complete my field placement at Jennifer Roggemann Law Office. Ms. Roggemann is an immigration lawyer. The reason why I want to have my work placement here is that I am very interested in immigration law since I am eager to immigrate to Canada.

I have recently applied for Jennifer Roggemann Law Office. My interview is scheduled on Tuesday, February 14, 2017.

I am researching how to have a good interview. Good luck, my classmates!

    Oh Claire I'm so happy for you that you found an immigration lawyer who also delivers a service in Korean!! I will be thinking of you for your interview.

    Do you think they will conduct at least some of the interview in Korean, or do you think it will all be in English?

    So excited!!!

    Hi Claire. I'm glad you were able to find a firm that you are comfortable with; I recall how nervous you were when we spoke in Mrs. Stewart's Family Law class.

    How did your interview go on Tuesday? Did Ms. Roggemann agree to take you on for your work placement? What interview questions did you have to ask, and what questions did you ask the lawyer?

Week 3 Post 2

School-related reflection 1.     Discuss how, through this program, you changed from a Year 1 student to a pre-professional.  What specific elements in the program helped to develop you as an emerging legal assistant?  You may wish to relate your new sense of professionalism to, for example, research you have done - explain how 'real' you think your classroom/lab experiences have been; why it is that you have come to feel more mature in your attitudes/thought processes/people skills.  These are only examples of what you may wish to discuss. You may choose your own topics but please be specific - how, why, what, when! My learning mainly depended on the textbook and googling. I think creating my Portfolio was the best learning method. It allowed me to learn, think, organize and understand law theory. Producing the documents through the law program was helpful for me to be pre-professional.  I could easily understand the immigration law documen...

Week1 Post1 First Impressions

1.       What areas of law are practised in the law firm you are working at? Do they have a mission statement? If so, what is it? Jennifer Roggemann Law Office practices the immigration law. Their mission statement is "Serve my clients wholeheartedly as if I were serving the Lord. (Eph 6:7)". 2.       Provide details of the orientation you have received. How were you introduced to other staff members? Are you working with one or many staff members? The office manager provided the organizational tree of staff members and informed me about what I should learn. She introduced me as an intern, and they welcomed me. I am working with two staff members. The office manager has been teaching me about overall documentation for immigration files, and the receptionist has been teaching me how to prepare new client files, how to deal with retainer, how to complete letters, PC law, and so on. 3.       Were you provided with a manual of office p...

The office environment 1.       What are your work hours; how are you supervised. I work from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The office manager supervises me. 2.      Describe your work area. My work area is a small room in the basement. Every staff member works in their own small space, and they use their telephones for communicating each other. In my room, there are a big desk, two monitors and a telephone. E very staff member is working with their two monitors.  3.      Describe your daily routine. I start with closing files. If new clients' consultations are appointed, the receptionist asks me to prepare a new file and preliminary documents for the consultation.  Everyday my work changes and increases. 4.      How is work initiated? Is it dictated, written out in longhand, sent to you by email or do you write your own correspondence, emails, etc. My work is initiated by the dictation beca...
