Paralegal Profile: Patricia F. Clapper, ACP, NCCP, North Carolina Paralegal Association Vice-President/Education Chair and Die-hard Wolfpack Fan

Job Titles: Advanced Certified Paralegal and North Carolina Certified Paralegal (but my boss just calls me his legal assistant).

Employer: Levine & Stewart, Chapel Hill, NC

Years of Paralegal Experience: 14

Specialty Areas: I work for a small firm, a general practice, so I do a little bit of everything.

Career Highlight: Lasting 14 years in the profession, with the same firm! Seriously, hopefully it will be getting to serve as President of the North Carolina Paralegal Association in March 2009.

Paralegal Practice Tip: Don’t stress about what you can’t change, but strive to change what you can.

Favorite Internet Resources:

Non-legal: N.C. State Sports

Legal: Accurint is a great site for finding people who do not want to be found, for a very reasonable fee.

Fun Fact: I am a die-hard Wolfpack fan. In fact, I have two tattoos -- one of Scooby Doo and one of Mr. Wuf.

I hope Patti does not mind me sharing this information with the world, but I knew her for years as "Legal Duck" (her E-mail handle) from the North Carolina Advocates for Justice Legal Assistant Division listserv. She has always been a welcome poster, frequently answering questions in many different areas of the law and providing links, sample documents and checklists.
