To begin, the type of law being enforced is different. Laws are different for local municipalities versus Statewide law versus Federal law.

If you’ve got 7 years of experience working in litigation in California and you’re moving to Florida, a law firm would be stupid not to want to hire you just because those 7 years of experience came from California. You shouldn’t have any problem finding a litigation paralegal job in Florida. Litigation is litigation.

Most likely, you did not have a class on case management in your paralegal certificate program. Unless the law firm you work for only assigns one case at a time to you (and, let’s be honest, that is not going to happen), then you are going to have to juggle more than one case and keep all of them organized.
