Legal Administrative Assistant
Legal Administrative Assistants work in legal offices preparing legal documents such as complaints, motions, summons, responses, and subpoenas under the supervision of attorneys or paralegals. They also may review legal journals and assist with legal research by verifying quotes or citations in legal briefs.
Legal Administrative Assistants must be able to perform all office duties including transcribing and formatting legal documents and business correspondence, filing, and law library maintenance. Public relations and customer service skills are critical components for those entering this fast-paced career, as is the ability to organize and plan office work and exercise leadership skills that make the modern employer-employee relationship a pleasant and successful experience.
