(April 2015) A paralegal is an individual, qualified by education, training or work experience, who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency, or other entity and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible.
Law firms regularly employ paralegals to serve as support staff to attorneys. Paralegals frequently conduct legal research, coordinate events with courts and clients and assist with office management. Generally, paralegals do not have partnership interests in law firms due to legal restrictions.
