A Day in the Life of a Paralegal*

A paralegal is an integral part of a legal team. While lawyers are ultimately responsible for legal work, they often delegate many of their tasks to paralegals. As a paralegal, you will:
  • Help prepare for and assist attorneys during closings, hearings, trials and corporate meetings
  • Investigate case facts
  • Identify appropriate laws, judicial decisions and other materials that are relevant to your client’s case
  • Analyze and organize information, and prepare reports that help determine how a case will be handled
  • Prepare legal arguments
  • Draft pleadings and motions
  • Obtain affidavits
  • Organize and track case documents
As a paralegal, you could work in community legal services and help disadvantaged persons in need of legal aid. You may also work in fields such as real estate law and corporate law.
