Legal Assistant vs. Paralegals. The titles âlegal assistantâ and âparalegalâ were once synonymous. In fact, the terms are defined as meaning the same thing in court rules, statutes, ethical opinions, bar association guidelines and similar documents. Both legal assistants and paralegals help attorneys conduct legal research, draft contracts and business agreements, conduct investigations, and prepare for trial. In private law offices, a paralegalâs work is charged to the client just as a lawyerâs time would be.
