What jcoltrane said about making mistakes is spot on. There is no room to screw up in this town, and no one wants to hear your excuses if you do. Forget about calling in sick. There is no such thing as a sick paralegal in a busy firm. You are either dead or at your desk, working.

Yes, it is. Though, its still hard to break in. No agency is going to send you on a job, unless they are sure you're not going to screw up! The only way they're going to know you're not going to screw up, is to send you on a job!
Now, don't go giving away too many secrets, comrade.
