What kinds of activities could a paralegal in a sole practitioner’s office do while the attorney is on vacation?
What will be an ideal response?
According to the Thonert case, a paralegal/legal assistant working in a sole practitioner’s
office can do almost nothing while the attorney is on vacation because the absence of the
attorney from the office means that there is no supervision of the paralegal/legal assistant.
Even in a jurisdiction that would not subscribe to the Thonert doctrine, a paralegal/legal
assistant still needs to tread very carefully when working in an office with one lawyer, when
that lawyer is out of the office for an extended period, because of the lack of supervision.
