It's not unethical for the attorney, as in lawyer in some state's bar association to date his paralegal assistant. If he is married, it might be illegal, if he is determined to be having sexual relations with her, a probable her; but besides all of this ethical and stuff, it is really stupid if he is married. Assuming sort of male lawyers and female paralegals... A major cause of divorce is not sexual problems, but breach of contract: that is, people expect others to do right to each other. Whatver that is... It sure is a major cause of divorces, and it almost never appears in the pleadings.. Also, anytime a person has a relationship with someone who works for them there is a potential for problems. It is very easy for the junior person to claim sexual harassment, when it exists, and when it does not exist. Generally, stupid, but not necessarly unethical....

Can a power of attorney be made out by the paralegal?
In most (if not all) states, drafting a power of attorney for someone else is the practice of law. It must be drafted by an attorney, or by the staff of an attorney (paralegal or legal secretary) under the supervision of the attorney. POAs can also usually be drafted by the person signing it (but not by the person who is receiving the power of attorney), since in most instances it is authorized to practice law on your OWN behalf only. Many states have statutorily authorized forms that can be used by a grantor without an attorney, but if a paralegal independently (without attorney supervision) assists a grantor in filling out the form, this may be the unauthorized practice of law, subject to criminal or civil penalty.

No. A paralegal is a position who works to assist an attorney. In a lose analogy, a paralegal and a lawyer are similar to a nurse and a doctor. A paralegal conducts legal research, meets with clients, prepares documents and handles administrative tasks. This person assists the attorney, but the attorney is ultimately responsible for the client's case. Paralegals are not required to be licensed by the state or any other agency, and therefore have no required level of education. Most complete associate's degree programs. Pre-law is a major in undergrad offered by some universities. Most attorneys do not major in pre-law.
