Paralegal |
||
|
||
| A paralegal is an administrative person who works under the direct supervision of a lawyer. They are found in all areas where lawyers are — in criminal trials, in real estate, in government, in estate planning. Paralegals and legal document assistants (LDAs) are often mistaken for one another; however, in most jurisdictions, paralegals are not permitted to contract directly with consumers for the preparation of legal documents. | ||
