Hi there 😊 I left for economic reasons 😅

[@snegugungcobo]

At some universities, a paralegal course is completed within 3 years, is it any different from the course you did for one year? Thank you for the information that you are sharing on this channel, it is really informative and eye-opening. You are appreciated this side😘🙏

[@legaltalkwithshazzy]

Hi Snegugu, So with that it depends on what the university is offering in terms of scope of work as well as the qualification level, most one year courses are for a certification qualification and most 3 year courses are for a diploma qualification 😄 The one I did was for a Certification qualification with the South African school of law, but I had the intention of doing my LLB immediately after

[@cyxxty5522]

Heyy shazz, ive complete my paralegal diploma at UJ wabo nou im doing the llb here at unisa. I hear that there wont b exams for the FAC1503 (accounting) module just gang assignments like 7 i think, is that true. I dont know if u still remember when u did your 1st year llb unisa??

[@legaltalkwithshazzy]

Hey hey Yoh PTSD with that module hey 😅 So I’m not too sure what the latest announcements will be with regards to the exams and I remember writing the exam for FAC1503 in first year. But if they will be doing assignments that makes it easier.

[@cyxxty5522]

@@legaltalkwithshazzy I hope it's just assignments too hey, because yohhh💔😂. Alright thank u✨

[@freddymathekga8018]

I would actually like to have a conversation with you on your style of finding law firms to send emails to. Please, you don’t mind, share how we can communicate 😅, if that’s okay with you.

[@legaltalkwithshazzy]

Hi Freddy you can can send me a message on Instagram it’s @shazzy_law

[@bharbieb368]

heyy shaz , does being a paralegal have a good salary and how much is it? i saw a guy saying he earns 6 figures because he is a freelance paralegal

[@legaltalkwithshazzy]

Well it depends on where you work, I know some paralegals who earn really good money and some that don’t

[@dineomonica]

Hi Shazzy😃 can an LLB student do paralegal work without a specific qualification for paralegal?

[@legaltalkwithshazzy]

Hi Dineo 😄 Yes absolutely you can, you don’t need to specifically be a Paralegal to do Paralegal work especially if you are already studying towards an LLB 😁

[@dineomonica]

@@legaltalkwithshazzy oh great stuff. I'll look into that one. Thank you so much

[@legaltalkwithshazzy]

Yes, You may apply for legal secretary or paralegal positions with a law Diploma and you can then do essentially the same work as a Paralegal or legal secretary

What is the entry level salary for paralegal

[@legaltalkwithshazzy]

The salary levels of a Paralegal in South Africa can vary depending on a number of factors, including the industry, level of experience, location, and size of the organization. Ideally, Entry-level Paralegal salary can range from around R80,000 to R180,000 per year. Which translates to between 6700 and 15 000 so I took the average and used that as a start
