When the federal government shutdown entered its fourth week in late October 2025, the U.S. judiciary began to visibly strain under the pressure. While federal judges remain on the bench and essential prosecutions continue, many courts have now transitioned into emergency operations — a sign that even the most fundamental pillars of justice are feeling the weight of Washington’s gridlock.
Admit it. Editing and cite checking are tasks you learned to hate in law school. With A.I. putting squiggly lines under words and phrases in Word, summaries of searches front and center in Google, and yellow and red flags in the top left corner of Westlaw searches, it is easy to be lulled into a false sense of security. If allowed to proceed to its logical end, A.I. can summarize your research, draft your documents, and edit your final product.
The legal industry is evolving faster than ever — and forward-thinking law firms are adapting through strategic staffing models that combine direct hire, contract staffing, temporary placements, and now, increasingly, remote legal support. This blended and remote staffing approach allows firms to maintain a core team of trusted employees while scaling additional support based on workload, case complexity, and budget — whether on-site or from anywhere in the country. By integrating both in-office and virtual paralegal professionals, firms can handle document-heavy caseloads, meet tight deadlines, and expand their reach without the need for additional physical infrastructure.
Outsourcing file review to a paralegal is becoming common practice for law firms seeking to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and access specialized skills. While the attorney must properly supervise the outsourced paralegal and adhere to ethical rules regarding confidentiality and unauthorized practice of law, the benefits of using a firm like www.CherylMillerLLC.com far outweigh the minimal time investment required for such supervision. Outsourcing has many benefits that tangibly impact your bottom line: Cost reduction: Outsourcing avoids the fixed overhead of a full-time employee, such as benefits, training, and office space. Firms can pay for paralegal services only as-needed, which helps manage costs during slow periods. Increased efficiency: Attorneys can offload time-consuming tasks like document review to focus on high-value work, such as litigation strategy and client consultation. Greater flexibility: Firms can scale paralegal support up or down to manage fluctuating workloads and case volumes without making long-term staffing commitments. Access to expertise: Outsourcing provides access to a larger pool of paralegals with specialized skills in areas like e-discovery, litigation support, or intellectual property, medical records, bankruptcy, and more -- which may not be available locally. Faster turnaround: Making use of outsourcing providers with paralegals based overseas can provide 24/7 coverage by leveraging time zone differences to complete reviews overnight.

Introduction
By Cheryl L. Miller, Founder & Chief Operating Officer - Cheryl L. Miller LLC
As a sentencing mitigation specialist, I make it my business to stay ahead of the legal shifts that impact federal defendants, particularly those charged under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), the federal statute that prohibits felons from possessing firearms.
Race-Based Traumatic Stress (RBTS) is an increasingly recognized form of psychological trauma resulting from racial discrimination, harassment, and violence. Attorneys handling both civil and criminal cases, particularly in areas like workplace discrimination, employment law, and civil rights litigation, are finding that addressing RBTS in their cases can be essential to substantiating emotional distress claims and securing fair outcomes for clients who have endured racial trauma.
