Edison State Community College
Paralegals are very often delegated by lawyers to take over their responsibilities for legal work. Day by day, legal assistants are handling more and more tasks in the nation's legal offices and deal with the legal issue as lawyers. They are constantly preparing for hearings and trials, drafting documents, and searching records even if they are not allowed to handle tasks that are considered to be the practice of law. Normally they must not set legal fees, offer legal advice, establish the attorney-client relationship and present cases in court.
The Edison's Paralegal Studies program is teaching you to provide the lawyer with the best professional and ethical aid that's in your power.
Under constant supervision of an attorney, the paralegal will deal with several substantive tasks that can be fulfilled efficiently with technical skill competence.
In this field you can work as an: legal assistant, documents clerk, mortgage manager, claim examiner, child support enforcement worker, law office manager, legal technician, paralegal, paralegal manager, patent agent, title examiner, law librarian abstractor, or subrogation specialist
In 2000, more than 200,000 people were officially working as paralegals and most of them were working for private law firms. For you to become one of them, you must complete an associate or bachelor's degree programs or a certificate program. For the future, paralegals and legal assistants jobs will exceed the number of any other regular job.
