Paralegals are individuals with specialized training who assist attorneys. They work under the supervision of attorneys, and have many job responsibilities including drafting motions and subpoenas, reviewing documents, and filing papers with the courts. Their specific responsibilities vary based on their education and experience. In the United States and Canada paralegals can work independently as freelancers and in their own private practices, as well as directly in the employ of lawyers, legal firms or corporations. Paralegals are sometimes referred to as “legal assistants”, since the United States does not require paralegals to have a specific legal education or to be licensed.
