Lawyers need a bachelor’s degree and a law degree, then they must pass the bar exam. Lawyers go to court and litigate cases. On the other hand, legal secretaries typically have a high school diploma and perform clerical work for lawyers such as appointment scheduling, dictation, and filing. What’s the Difference Between a Legal Secretary and a Paralegal? When it comes to legal secretary vs paralegal job descriptions, paralegals have more education experience than legal secretaries, and paralegals directly help lawyers with their cases. Legal secretaries typically have a high school diploma and handle clerical duties such as scheduling appointments, taking messages, and keeping a lawyer’s calendar. Paralegals have additional education and certifications and may perform research, gather information from witnesses, and help lawyers prepare their cases. What Are the Main Roles of a Legal Secretary? Legal secretary jobs involve performing clerical duties to assist lawyers, such as filling out forms, scheduling appointments, taking notes, and transmitting information via email, fax, or snail mail. #J-18808-Ljbffr Jamesmckiernanlawyers
