As defined by the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, a Paralegal is a person, qualified through education, training or work experience to perform substantive legal work that requires knowledge of legal concepts and is customarily, but not exclusively, performed by a lawyer. This person may be retained or employed by a lawyer, law office, governmental agency or other entity or may be authorized by administrative, statutory or court authority to perform this work.

Our writers on the Writology.com website, who are professors in the field of law, emphasize that working as a Paralegal, a young employee gets the opportunity to consolidate his theoretical knowledge obtained during his studies at the university. Despite the fact that this position does not require the employee to defend the interests of clients in a court hearing, he is the right hand of his manager (chief lawyer) and must prepare all documents for the latter's appearance in the process.
