Paralegal and Legal Assistant

Paralegals and Legal Assistants are the oft-overlooked support staff members of every successful law firm in the country.  They continue to assume an ever-increasing range of tasks in legal offices and perform many of the same tasks as lawyers. Nevertheless, they are explicitly prohibited from carrying out duties considered to be the practice of law, such as setting legal fees, giving legal advice, and presenting cases in court.
