I taught a contracts course to paralegals and business law students and it wasn't remotely the same as contracts in law school.
Legal research is legal research. Is there a precedent? Has it been upheld? Will it work for my case? Is there another case that fits better? Are there any red flags? All my paralegal instructors were working attorneys. None of them indicated their research was "somewhat" similar.
