Is "Paralegaling" a Verb?

By Lynne DeVenny

ADVERTISEMENTS
This quote in a query, "Am I being too honest in my job applications?" to a British career advice column at Legal Week caught my eye:


I am due to start my training contract in September with a medium-sized City firm. Up until last year I had been paralegaling for 14 months, but had to resign due to the bereavement of my parents who were retired in Australia.


I don't get out much. I've never heard of anyone paralegaling before.

So I did a quick Google search, and while I didn't find it in a dictionary, I did find several British quotes using the word, such as:

"After a year or so of paralegaling, some traveling, and other adventures, I decided on the Peace Corps."

"Sometimes, people view paralegaling as an alternate way into the legal profession."

"Paralegaling is fine providing it is related to your pupillage." (Uh, righto.)

Also, apparently "there's no crying in paralegaling!" (If you need to be reminded, click on the photo to order the mousepad.)
