> An out-of-the-box idea might be to find a paralegal on FIVERR and ask them to dig up resources to read up on.

Ideas are a picodollar a dozen. Why don't you try this one and tell us how it works out? Or, at a minimum, find out if you could even theoretically hire a paralegal on Fiverr?



Seems like it'd be a pretty bad idea on the paralegal's part to take the gig.


Why is that?


It is illegal in every US jurisdiction I’m aware of for a paralegal to give legal advice.

Attorneys have a legally enforced monopoly on legal advice because, well, they write the laws.


And even if you found a paralegal willing to break the law, you'd either get an idiot who can't get a job anywhere or have to pay a lot more than $5
