Happy Administrative Professionals Day
Three attorneys in our office, one paralegal, and one legal assistant (me). The paralegal and I wonder if any of the attorneys will remember....and it's even on the calendar.

Anyway, if you're someone who gets things done around the office, have a great day!

What's the difference between a paralegal and a legal assistant?

And by the way, that's not the start of a joke. That's a real question.

It's the same as the difference between an administrative professional and a secretary

IMO, it's got more to do with experience. I'm just getting started, so I don't have the experience or knowledge under my belt yet. The terms are basically interchangeable. I guess I would be closer to a legal secretary in my current position.

The paralegal just went into her boss's office and said, "By the way, you guys got us each $25 gift certificates to Acacia (day spa next door) for Secretary's Day."

I read a thing just a few weeks ago that it's now accepted again to use the word secretary. I think this is progress.

Paralegals typically bill their time at an hourly rate and have annual hourly requirements, same as attorneys, and typically do mid-level work junior attorneys haven't mastered and senior attorneys charge too much for. You get an actual office, although it's a cramped interior office, and a secretary, although she's assigned to several other people and generally too busy/lazy to do your work, so you get stuck doing it yourself. You have to attend department meetings, which suck, although they're generally lunch meetings so you do get some free food.

This is more what I was thinking...

Paralegals can perform many of the same things as lawyers, but they can not practice law, such as giving legal advice, or presenting cases before a court of law. They assist lawyers by dong the "grunt work" for a matter, such as filings, research, tracking status of matters, and document production. To become a paralegal, you are required to complete a program in paralegal studies. There are proficiency tests that enable one to use certain designations to show that they have met the requirements of certain organizations.

Legal secretaries, on the other hand, (or legal assistants/legal administrative assistants) perform clerical/administrative tasks, such as arranging conference calls, travel coordination, composing/transcribing letters, creating presentations and worksheets, purchase supplies and general office duties. The legal administrative assistant may also handle billing, payroll, human resource or other issues, depending on the size and type of company. Although no degree or certification is needed, proficiency in computer software applications, such as word processing, database management, spreadsheet and presentation creation is required.

Well, I do draft contracts and file items with probate court. We don't do litigation here, mostly contract/transaction and estate planning, so not a lot of research. The paralegal's time does get billed, whereas my attorney bills everything himself. The other attorney (and partner) in the office only does mediations, so my tasks for him include scheduling, correspondence, and billing. Like I said, I'm probably considered more of a legal secretary.
