To Whom I t May Concern,

I am inqui ring about the position you have available at your law office. I am in terested

i n expanding my horizons and seeking new challenges in the area of office support for

a law fi rm. I am very interested in the position you are offering and I have enclosed my

resume for your review and consideration.

I have completed a Paralegal certification course that is offered through Weber State

U niversity and offered by The Center for Legal Studies. I completed the course August

2010. This course has been very detailed in the work of a paralegal and has gone into

depth about more than simply clerical duties. I have learned the following from the

course:

• Legal Analysis using the IRAC system

• Preparing legal documents such as memos, pleadings, demand letters and more

• Legal Terminology

• Legal In terviewing

• Legal Investigation

• Legal Ethics

• WestLaw

Also, I will be completing my Associate’s Degree this fall in General Education and

w ill continue on to my Bachelor’s Degree with a major in Psychology after that.

I believe that I would be an asset to your law fi rm because:

• I am honest and dependable

• I am a hard worker and can also be an independent worker

• In addition I work well with a team

• I can offer maturi ty and efficiency

• I am knowledgeable with office procedures

• I see challenges as opportunities

My hopes are to become a team member in a law fi rm where I have the opportunity to

continue my education in the legal field and move up into a successful career.

T hank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

S incerely,

Talia Kemp
