You know that scene in The West Wing, where Donna Moss, assistant to Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman, tries to draw a laugh from a tour by calling herself the "Deputy Deputy Chief of Staff"? And how it fails miserably?
The same outcomes results when you try to describe your time assisting a paralegal as being a "Para-Paralegal".
I'm a little late to the game, but wanted to say- of course! that was before the awful horseshoe joke! [and the West Wing nerd fades back into the interwebs]
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to not refer to myself as the law clerk's law clerk. Even though that seems to be exactly what "judicial externs" are.
