Career Area of the Week:
How about a LEGAL SECRETARY? LEGAL SECRETARIES perform specialized clerical and administrative duties to assist lawyers in their work. They also ensure efficient operation of the law office and coordinate office activities. Their work requires knowledge of legal terminology, forms and procedures and knowledge of computers and case management. Secretaries may review law journals and assist with legal research.
Most employers require LEGAL SECRETARIES to have knowledge of word processing, spreadsheet, and database management programs. The skills a legal secretary will need can be acquired through formal training from high school vocational education programs, business schools, or one to two-year programs in vocational-technical institutes and community colleges.

Braindrop for the day
Almost all pufferfish (or blowfish) contain tetrodotoxin, a substance that makes them bad tasting and often lethal to other fish. For humans, tetrodotoxin is deadly. There is enough toxin in one pufferfish to kill 30 adult humans, and there is no known antidote.
