Kaylin Fletcher is a paralegal with a prestigious firm in Walters State’s service area. She first worked at the office to meet the program’s internship requirement. When her internship was over, the firm offered her a job.

When Kaylin enrolled at Walters State, she wanted to earn a two-year degree that would lead to a fulfilling and financially rewarding career. The college’s Paralegal Program proved to be a perfect fit.

“I have always been interested in the law and how the justice process works,” Fletcher said. She said that her job is usually spent assisting attorneys and clients. One morning she may be in the firm’s law library researching state or federal statutes. In the afternoon, she may be interviewing witnesses.

Many of the clients she meets with have been injured due to the negligence of another and are now left unable to work or provide for their families.

“This job is a good way to help people, too. I meet and talk to people who are facing different challenges everyday. This is a very hands-on job. Sometimes, just listening to a client is a comfort for that person,” Kaylin said.

She often accompanies attorneys to court and assists during the actual trial.

Kaylin says her studies at Walters State gave her the confidence to handle so much responsibility at a relatively young age.

“The attention I received from professors was great. If I had a question, I could e-mail or call them. I always received a quick response and that was very helpful since many of my classes were online.

“I knew I did not want to go off to a big school where every student is more or less a number. At Walters State, I knew people cared about my success.”
