Paralegals and Legal Assistants
While lawyers assume ultimate responsibility for legal
work, they often delegate many of their tasks to paralegals. In fact,
paralegals—also called legal assistants—are continuing to assume a
growing range of tasks in legal offices and perform many of the same
tasks as lawyers. Nevertheless, they are explicitly prohibited from
carrying out duties considered to be the practice of law, such as
setting legal fees, giving legal advice, and presenting cases in court

This course is ideal for anyone wanting to
quickly and easily learn common legal terms. Each of the
self-paced lessons includes sound files so you can hear the
pronunciation immediately.
Online Class: Paralegal Studies 101
The Paralegal Studies course is designed to give
you information you need to be a successful paralegal. It will
take you through a survey of what is needed to become a
paralegal, how you may choose to go about it, all of the
business details which are generally not known until you are
into the firm, and some of the social skills and information you
will need to survive and thrive in a firm. It also covers issues
which will never be said to you by anyone in your firm; some of
the material cannot be said by members of your firm without
putting them in legal jeopardy because they possess licenses or
practice in certain areas of law. If you already have your
paralegal certification, then this course will be beneficial if
you are seeking your first firm position. You will get an
insider's scoop on common mistakes and pitfalls, and you will
know how to avoid or overcome common faux pas.

Paralegals
Paralegals originated as assistants to lawyers at a time
when only lawyers offered legal services. In those jurisdictions, such
as the United States, where the local legal profession/judiciary is
involved in paralegal recognition/accreditation then the profession of
paralegal still basically refers to those people working under the
direct supervision of a lawyer. In other jurisdictions however, such as
the United Kingdom, the lack of local legal profession/judiciary
oversight means that the definition of paralegal encompasses non-lawyers
doing legal work, regardless of who they do it for. Although most
jurisdictions recognize paralegals to a greater or lesser extent, there
is no international consistency as to definition, job-role, status,
terms and conditions of employment, training, regulation or anything
else and so each jurisdiction must be looked at individually.
