What kind of work does a paralegal/ legal assistant do? 10pts for best answer!?
Find answers to your legal question.

Is it just answering the phone and spreadsheets or do they actually help with the case? Do they go to court with the lawyer? What are all their duties? How much do they make a year? Is it a good job? Thanks!

Paralegals do a lot of case work. It is a very interesting and fulfilling job.
