A legal assistant, also known as a paralegal, is an important member of a legal team tasked with providing support to lawyers in various aspects of their work. They work closely with attorneys and perform a wide range of duties, including researching laws and regulations, drafting legal documents such as contracts, pleadings, and motions, maintaining case files, and preparing documents for court hearings. They also assist in trial preparation, including location of witnesses and organizing exhibits. Legal assistants may perform administrative functions such as scheduling meetings, managing calendars and deadlines, and communicating with clients.
To become a legal assistant, you typically need a certificate, associate degree, or bachelor’s degree in paralegal studies or a related field, although some employers may consider candidates with a high school diploma and significant work experience. Legal assistants must be organized, detail-oriented, and possess strong communication and research skills. They must also possess knowledge of legal terminology and procedures, and have the ability to analyze and summarize legal concepts. Legal assistants can work in a variety of settings, including law firms, government agencies, corporations, and non-profit organizations.
