Cover Letter
To whom it may concern;
I wish to pursue this career in the paralegal field because I feelthat law,
legal representation,and providing aid to others is a very important position
to hold. I began my college career in Criminal Justice for one reason; to
help others. I want to give back and I am very determined to learn and
work to help not only the firm I work for, but to provide as much care as I
can to clients.
I have not worked in a law office before,but I have extensive experience in
dealing with the public and communicating professionallywith them. My
Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice,concentration Pre-Law, has provided me
with some basic knowledge of legal documents,parliamentary procedure,
court procedure,and the Louisiana law. My minor is English which has
given me great knowledge to typing efficiently,using correctgrammar, and
analyzing paperwork. I have vast knowledge with computers and I am fully
aware of all the current software from Windows Vista to Windows 10. I am
familiar with both Microsoftand Mac. I have attended several mock court
cases from being a memberof Phi Alpha Delta, particularly in family court
disputes.
I hope to hear from you soon and if there are any questions regarding my
résumé, feelfree to call or email me with my information provided with the
attached. It would be my pleasure to be employed with your firm.
Thank you,
Macy Coleman

Why Do I Want This Job?
• I am a hard worker and I am very dedicated to a job. I have great
communication skills, as I have worked with the public and have taken
several Communications courses. I like to be as friendly and as helpful as I
can to make a good impressionon myself and whoever I work for. I want
to be a paralegal because my goal is to eventually be a lawyer. I think that
this career would give me great first-hand experience in this field.
