Answer to Question 1

To proofread legal documents, a paralegal:

Should not assume that one proofreading will be sufficient to catch all problems or errors that the document may contain.

Should read through the document again to make sure that the style and formatting elements are consistent throughout.

Should print out the document, and go through the contents line by line to make sure that it includes all required or relevant information.

Should read through the document again, word for word, to ensure that it is
free of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and typos.

Answer to Question 2

Paralegals often work on many cases at once. To be responsive to job requirements and to meet the needs of clients, paralegals should set aside a little time each day to review the demands on their time. They should think about what must be done that day as well as what must be completed over time to meet deadlines. They should make a list of what they need to accomplish; the list might be built into their calendaring software. Each morning, they should reevaluate what they completed the day before. If work was not completed, they should think about why. When working on multiple cases, it is critical to understand what must be accomplished on each case so that one deadline does not sneak up while the paralegal is paying attention to another.
