The legal system works more efficiently with paralegals performing essential tasks to maximize legal services delivery to meet clients’ needs. Attorneys give paralegals a wide range of crucial responsibilities to perform legal activities that are often identical to the attorney’s work except for giving legal advice, opinions, and representation to clients.
Working as a licensed or certified paralegal is an exciting career path. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, paralegal jobs are expected to grow significantly (over 9%) over the next decade.
