Paralegal Paralegal

Paralegal - Definition and Overview

A paralegal is a non-attorney who works under the supervision of a lawyer whose work is usually billed to clients. Paralegals have many job duties, including drafting motions and subpoenas, document review, and filing papers with courts. In the United States, many paralegals take a two-year course to become certified in the profession.

In Canada, some paralegals work independently in private practice.
