Paralegal Studies Careers - Providing Critical Legal Services
The fast-paced excitement of a paralegal or legal services career is dramatically depicted in popular and syndicated television shows, such as "Boston Legal" and "Law and Order." Meanwhile, the local and national news, as well as court and justice television programs, have provided coverage of high-profile trials and legal proceedings that have made major headlines over the past several years. With such easy access to law and legal action courtesy of the American media, it is no wonder that so many young Americans want to complete law degrees or paralegal certificates each year.
Like any career shown in the media - medicine, business, advertising, and so on - real-life law and legal careers do not always embody the back-to-back high-drama excitement portrayed on television. However, they are consistently interesting and engaging, requiring workers to devote focus to their careers. To get started in an entry-level legal or paralegal career (these terms will be used interchangeably throughout the article), a potential employee will typically need to have a degree - or have completed legal studies training courses or a paralegal certification.
Entry-level competition for any career, including the paralegal profession, can be tough. Students who have pursued a paralegal certificate or degree are usually considered to be stronger candidates for entry-level careers in law. This is because completing an education demonstrates that a student is mature and responsible enough to handle a daily legal services workload. Many schools in the United States offer a paralegal studies degree program to prepare students for an array of exciting legal careers. Some of the stronger programs are also approved by the American Bar Association (ABA).
The legal studies or paralegal degree program: What do students learn?
The most important skill sets that a paralegal or legal assistant will employ are good reading comprehension and writing abilities. The majority of a paralegal's work involves reading and writing, and some legal documents or court briefs can contain fairly complex language and concepts. Besides English reading and writing courses, many paralegal studies programs require students to take specific classes in legal research and legal writing.
Strong research and documentation skills are other important components of a legal studies education. Upon completing a paralegal certification or legal studies career training program, students must be able to quickly and accurately find and interpret federal, state, and local laws, research legal precedents set by previous hearings or decided cases, and track down evidence that will support the case. Because the career opportunities for paralegals and legal assistants are very diverse, many legal programs require students to study several areas of law. Many ABA-approved schools offer classes in criminal law, family law, property and probate, torts, and civil procedure.
Many schools offer career placement options for students completing a paralegal studies or legal services degree program. These student-centered career resources can include resume-writing workshops and cover-letter coaching, as well as job leads - and career placement. This placement is often targeted in the area of the country in which the college is located. For example, a Los Angeles college might offer students placement assistance in Long Beach, Huntington, Irvine, Cerritos, or another city in Los Angeles County, California. Students interested in legal or law careers are most successful at the entry level when they use all of the resources their school or college offers, including career counselors and legal or paralegal job resource boards.
After the legal studies education: What do paralegals and legal assistants do?
Upon completing a degree and career training program, legal studies students will enter jobs with varying descriptions and duties. Paralegals perform many direct tasks for the rest of the legal team. A paralegal or legal assistant might be assigned to one lawyer or to a team of lawyers. For example, a litigation paralegal might assist the legal team in preparing for trial, which includes gathering and organizing evidence and court briefs; doing research and writing briefs for the case, and even preparing courtroom arguments or evidence exhibits.
Some of the documents a paralegal will write are dependent upon the area of law in which he or she works. Estate and trust paralegals are likely to assist in writing wills and financial contracts. Family and divorce law paralegals help write divorce agreements, child custody briefs, and hearing summaries, or or work with the courts in obtaining child abuse testimonies. Financial and corporate paralegals can prepare tax forms, work in government compliance, or write business contracts.
A paralegal might also be employed in the public or the private legal sector. Legal assistants and paralegals might take notes in meetings, help to prepare employee tax and benefits forms, and file records and major papers for the law firm. Some employees might have more opportunities to perform more extensive legal research, as well. Other employees might be in charge of determining whether individuals are eligible for food stamps, housing subsidies, social security assistance, and other benefits.
According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the need for paralegals and legal assistants is expected to increase more rapidly than average through 2014. This is partially because Americans live in an increasingly lawsuit-prone society, and partially because it is more cost-effective for law firms to hire legal assistants to perform the work of an attorney. A comprehensive education in legal concepts and applications from an ABA-approved or accredited paralegal studies or certificate program, a thorough, post-college legal career search, and the desire to work hard at acquiring increasingly challenging job responsibilities will enable a legal studies student to begin a fulfilling legal career.

Airline Travel - Can I Get a US Passport in One Day?
Getting a US passport in one day is possible. However, several factors have to be right for this to happen. This article will provide the information necessary for applicants to obtain a passport in only 24 hours.
The only location that same day passports are issued is at the U.S. Department of State's regional agencies. These are located in major cities of the United States. The current agencies can be found in San Francisco, LA and Seattle on the West coast. On the East coast agencies are located in Boston and New York. There are several in the South including Tucson, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and Miami. Up North, agencies can be found in Minneapolis and Detroit.
Since the agencies are located in specific locations, the first factor that must be right for you to get a passport in one day is that you need to live relatively close to one of the agencies. Otherwise you would have to factor in the time it takes to travel to the agency or mail delivery time if you decided to apply through a professional expediting service. While the application itself could still be processed in one day, the total time it takes to get the passport would be longer.
Another factor that affects the time it takes to get a passport is whether an appointment is available at the agency you wish to visit. The State Department "requires" applicants to schedule an appointment by calling 1-877-487-2778. Oftentimes, no appointment is available for a few days from the date of the call. This is especially true during peak travel periods when the demand for passports increases significantly.
The word require is placed in quotation marks because it is not uncommon for American citizens to appear at a regional passport agency without an appointment. While the agency is not obligated to attend you if you do this, many travelers have obtain passports in one day by doing this. Since you will not have an appointment confirmation number, you must present your Social Security card. So, do not forget to take it.
What can you do to get a passport in one day if you do not live near a regional agency? The solution is to authorize a private expediting service to submit the application for you. They have both experience and a standing appointment with the regional agencies. An expediter can also be used if you live near a regional agency but are unable to personally go due to work or other commitments.
In summary, the place to get a passport expedited quickly is at a regional passport agency. You can submit the application yourself or get an expediter to do it. Either way, you can get a US passport in one day.

Vacation Getaways For Kids and Dads
During vacation time, it is important that you get down to planning things together so that each family member can voice his choice of destination. A few time-tested vacation ideas or must-see places for dads and kids are suggested below. Whether it is skiing on a snow-capped mountainside that draws you or the safari, which delights your kids, you will find it all here.
So pack your bags and gift your children a vacation and a memory to stay with them all their lives!
National Park Vacations
Life in the city - daily routine, commuting to and back from work, etc. may get to you at times. If you are looking for an outlet, an outdoor family vacation is an answer to it. National Parks like Yellowstone (Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana), Yosemite (California), the Grand Canyon (Arizona), Crater Lake, Death Valley, Glacier Bay, etc. provide countless opportunities to revel in the abundance of nature. The Rocky Mountain National Park is one such destination worth considering. It provides adventure opportunities with all sorts of climbing, fly-fishing, snowshoeing, skiing, backpacking, hiking, wildlife viewing, and bird watching, all in the backdrop of breathtaking scenery.
Beach Wonders
Building sand castles on the beach with your kids may give you an insight into the fantasy world of your child and help you bond better as a dad. If you are the adventurous type, water sports at the beach with your kids is an exciting option. America is blessed with beautiful beaches which are well maintained, making them ideal family vacation spots. Clearwater Beach, Cumberland Island, East Hampton, Laguna, Little Palm Island, Naples, Newport Beach, Ofu Beach, Poipu Beach, and beaches in Hawaii are the top beaches suited for a family vacation. Whether you are attracted by pristine and calm waters, rocky beaches, sandy beaches or all types of snorkeling and diving sports, you have it all here. One of the most suitable beaches for kids is the Kauai Beach-a natural wonder in itself, it offers the opportunity to ride horses and indulge in kayaking, biking, and fishing, apart from water sports.
Cities
If you haven't taken your kids to the famous cities of America, you haven't added value to their education. It is important that your kids learn about the seat of American politics, economic growth and strength, cultural resources and influence, academic institutions, etc., and the impact of all these on the world. The cities of maximum importance are New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta, and Seattle. In addition, places like Orlando, Las Vegas, and Miami can prove to be one of the most memorable family vacations with entertainment opportunities galore for all age groups.

Read on to find out all about the industry's largest reciprocal-access guest program covering health and fitness clubs in over 50 countries. The way it works, if you travel a distance of 50 miles or above away from your home and if your gym is a member of the IHRSA program you will be allowed access to over 3000 health clubs in over 50 countries.
You will have a sticker on your gym membership card that identifies you as a member of the IHRSA. Some of the health clubs charge a reduced guest fee for passport members, while others waive the fee entirely. You can always call to find out before visiting the club.

o Only IHRSA club members can participate in the passport program.
o Your IHRSA Passport is valid only at clubs 50 miles and above away from your club.

Passport to Wealth Business Scam Review - Is it Real Or a Scam?
If you've been searching the internet for home based business opportunities or a way to make money online, you're more than likely to have found Passport to Wealth, one of the many network marketing opportunities online. I found Passport in a search online, filled in my contact information, and waited to hear back. I was contacted by a true gentleman, Mike. Mike was very informative about Passport to Wealth as well as internet marketing in general, as I said, a real gentleman.
What are you selling?
Mike explained that as a "member" you receive the opportunity to download countless digital products, most having to do with internet marketing, ebooks, tutorials, etc. You also have a license to resell the products which I believe is a tremendous idea. This all sounded very interesting, so I took the next step and went to a "business overview" call to find out more.
The call was somewhat standard from my experience, a "leader" starts the call by reading pretty much from a script, then there are testimonials, then a short period of Q & A. It was said that the products had actually been valued at $75,000. WOW! and I can be a member, and have a license to resell this valuable package or any of the products individually, and I only pay $997.00 to join. This sounded fair, so now the really important question . . .
How do I get Paid?
This is where I began to hesitate. Passport to Wealth uses the "Australian 2-up" business model. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this model, it simply means that once you join, you pass your first two "training sales" up to your sponsor. The theory is that once you've done this, you will be receiving compensation for the first two "training sales" of everyone that you sponsor.
Having come from another "Australian 2-up" and been , what I felt was, abandoned by my sponsor, I chose not to join Passport to Wealth. I guess my biggest question was why should I give up $1,994.00 in compensation which I earn? Even though I might learn some marketing techniques from my mentor, I'm the one putting in all of the effort.
And in Conclusion
Even though I feel that Passport to Wealth is a real opportunity with real products to go along with the business opportunity, I chose not to join. Having been involved with another program which was structured as an "Australian 2-up" I've learned my lesson. First, as you can probably imagine, the major effort comes in the beginning of an online business opportunity, you must first build momentum. Then you make your first couple of sales and "pass-up" almost $2,000.00 to your sponsor. And finally, now your sponsor has no vested interest in helping you, in fact, you are now in direct competition.

What You Should Do If You Lose Your Passport Overseas
Unfortunately errors happen all over the world and you could be enjoying a wonderful overseas trip until you lose your passport. If you do lose your passport, then you will have to have it replaced quickly at the closest embassy or consulate representing the issuer of the passport. Here is what you should do if you find yourself with a lost passport while travelling overseas.
As soon as you realize that you have lost your passport documents, you should contact the nearest embassy or consulate. They will cancel your passport for you and will be able to advise you on the process involved in having a new one issued. Cancelling the lost passport is a very important step as you will not be able to get a new one until the old one is nullified.
Another reason that you need to cancel your lost passport is to stop it being used for fraud. International passports are hot property among some thieves who can sell them on the black market. There are various purposes for which they could be used, but you do not want your name to be involved in any criminal activity.
When you get a new passport issued abroad, you first fill out the application that the embassy provides, pay the required fee plus a lost passport fee and then wait for it to be issued. The time of issue will vary between different embassies. You may also be able to apply for an emergency passport, which is given more quickly, but has a shorter expiry date.
It is certainly better if you can avoid losing your passport than having to go through the hassle of having it replaced. Try to protect your passport from being lost or stolen as it is an important document. There are certain things you can do to reduce the possibility of it going astray.
Wear a money belt while you are travelling and place the passport in this at all times. When you remove it for use at customs or elsewhere, be sure to replace it immediately. Lots of people lose their passport when they leave it on counters of hotels, banks and currency exchanges. It is also common to leave it on tables at cafes and restaurants since many places overseas require the sighting of your passport before they accept credit card payments.
Always keep your passport in your sight when you hand it over to someone. Many hotels will require your passport as identification when you check in at the hotel. They should not insist on keeping it as some travellers experience. If they do want to keep the passport, then you should offer them a photocopy. Make it a habit to check that you have replaced your passport before you leave anywhere that you have used it.

Outdoor Activities in Philadelphia Best by Charter Bus
There's more to just shopping and bar-hopping in Philadelphia and it's definitely more fun to do that with a charter bus. Why bother with finding out where everything is and walking around, taking the Philadelphia public transportation, buses and cabs when you can actually hire a Charter Bus to get you moving through outdoor activity to another. It'll be a ball! Now, if you're not sure what to do outdoor in Philadelphia, you can either ask the charter bus driver for ideas, surf the internet for more information or you can read on to find out recommendations.
The first place you ought to stop by is the Seven Mountains Spirit Fist Kung Fu Studio - it will be totally smashing. Take the charter bus to a place where you will be taught and introduced to Kung Fu and it takes you all the way back to the roots and origins of Kung Fu. Discuss all the dragon, tiger, crane, eagle, monkey and phoenix stances when you are done and back in the charter bus. When you're back in the charter bus, recharge your energy by either taking a quick nap or do some light reading. The charter bus will have a TV that you may want to watch too. If you're game for putting some balls, we reckon you should take the charter bus to Cobb's Creek Golf Course which happens to be one of Philadelphia's hottest tourist spot. Once you step off the charter bus, you'll see why for yourself. The Cobb's Creek Golf Course is at 72nd Street and Lansdowne Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19151 which means that it is located within the Philadelphia city itself. The Cobbs Creek Golf Course has 18 holes in its 6,130 yards. Since it's really popular among tourists, it would be best if you could give them a call for a booking if your group is a really large one. No point hiring a charter bus and ending up not having the opportunity to putt anything.
So, you see, who says one cannot have loads of fun outdoors in Philadelphia. All you have to do, really, is to hire a charter bus.
