Legal Administrative Assistant

www. linnbenton. edu / go / business-technology
Legal administrative assistants may work for attorneys in private or public practice, the judicial system, the government, or large corporations that have legal departments. They must be familiar with legal procedures and the judicial process. Although their work varies depending upon the type of employer, most legal administrative assistants prepare and process legal documents such as appeals and motions, fill out forms for clients, and either take dictation or transcribe letters and memos dictated by the attorney. They create electronic legal documents, letters, and other case materials and use computers to create other legal documents. In larger offices, legal administrative assistants may supervise staff, and they may organize and order new books for the law library.
