Jeff Bennion, J.D., is a solo practitioner specializing in personal injury
and business litigation, a weekly columnist for AboveTheLaw.com, and
a consultant on mass torts cases, particularly in the area e-discovery.
He also instructs Business Law for the Legal Professional. When asked
how he advises incoming students, he replied; “Anticipate that this
will be the first step in your education, not your last. The great thing about the paralegal
profession is that there is room for anyone at any level. The most misunderstood aspect
of the paralegal field is the role that paralegals play. Paralegals are not legal secretaries. They are not junior lawyers. It is a highly skilled profession that requires substantive
knowledge of the law as well as knowledge of court procedures. When used properly,
paralegals supplement the knowledge that attorneys have to allow the law office to
function efficiently.”

Student Profile
Gina Lucas
Gina Lucas, CP has over 28 years of experience in the legal profession. She
is a past Director and Treasurer of the San Diego Paralegal Association, a
former Executive Director of the Enright Inn of Court. She is a 2013 graduate of the UCSD Extension Paralegal Program. “I had been in the legal field
for many years prior to entering the paralegal program and although I felt a
certain sense of security in my skill and experience, as time went on and technology progressed,
I felt the need to obtain my certificate and become certified to remain proficient and competitive in this field. Acquiring the ability through the legal communications and legal research
classes to more quickly and properly research a legal issue or case, then analyze and write a
more coherent and persuasive brief or memo, were skills I instantly utilized. I routinely draft
discovery requests and responses, legal memos, and related documents and pleadings, so these
improved skills were immediately recognized and appreciated by the partners at my firm.”
