We Don't KNOW How This Magazine for Paralegals Will Do
BIG announcement. A magazine designed for paralegals is launching next month. It's called KNOW -- a strangely generic title. The full name is "KNOW: The Magazine for Paralegals." It's not to be confused with KNOW: The Science Magazine for Curious Kids.
As a former paralegal, I am fairly certain I would not have read this magazine. But I was one of those fresh-faced university grads trying to figure out whether I wanted to go to law school, and was not planning to be a career paralegal gal.
According to the promo, KNOW is an "outside-the-box, informative magazine balancing workstyle and life balance for paralegals." Here are some of the articles planned for the first issue:
Famous TV Stars: What Fans Don't Know About These Former Paralegals Work Less, Earn More: Can You Ditch the 24/7 Stressful Routine? The 10 Most Influential Paralegals in the Country Trends Guaranteed to Change the Paralegal Profession Diversity's Little Secret: Are Caucasian Paralegals Doing Enough to Support African-American Paralegals? Paralegals Succeeding Against All the Odds Navigating a Male-Dominated Industry
In terms of industry niche publications, they've hit all the hot topics in the first issue: celebrities, diversity, and gender. Where do you go from there? We suggest an article ranking paralegal schools.
We're skeptical. But we'll pose the question to our paralegal readers. What do you think? Have you been wondering about how to succeed against all odds? Or whether Caucasian Paralegals are doing enough to support their African-American comrades in arms?
Update: We invite you to suggest article subjects for future issues of KNOW magazine, in the comments. E.g.: "Life beyond Paralegaling: Turning that Senior Partner's 'Stain' into a Multi-Million Dollar Child Support Settlement."
