Paralegal Exam Questions Practice Test part 2

Description

A paralegal is a professional who provides legal support to lawyers and assists with various tasks such as research, document preparation, and client communication. They are trained in legal procedures and have a good understanding of the law, but they are not licensed to practice law. Paralegals play an important role in the legal system, helping lawyers to prepare for trials, hearings, and other legal proceedings. They can also work for law firms, corporations, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. The duties of a paralegal can vary depending on the employer and the specific area of law in which they specialize, but they typically include tasks such as conducting legal research, preparing legal documents, and maintaining legal databases.

A paralegal is a professional who performs tasks that require knowledge of legal concepts but not the full expertise of a lawyer. The market for paralegals is broad, including consultancies, companies that have legal departments or that perform legislation compliance activities in areas such as environment, labor, intellectual property and tax. Legal offices and public bodies also have many paralegals in support activities although they do not yet use the correct name of the profession

The exact nature of their work and limitations that the law places on the tasks they are allowed to undertake vary between nations and jurisdictions. Paralegals generally are not allowed to offer legal services independently in most jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, paralegals can conduct their own business and provide services such as settlements, court filings, legal research and other auxiliary legal services; these tasks often have instructions from a solicitor attached.

In the United States, a paralegal is protected from some forms of professional liability under the theory that paralegals are working as an enhancement of an attorney, who takes ultimate responsibility for the supervision of the paralegal's work and work product. Paralegals often have taken a prescribed series of courses in law and legal processes. Paralegals may analyze and summarize depositions, prepare and answer interrogatories, draft procedural motions and other routine briefs, perform legal research and analysis, draft research memos, and perform case and project management. Paralegals often handle drafting much of the paperwork in probate cases, divorce actions, bankruptcies, and investigations. Consumers of legal services are typically billed for the time paralegals spend on their cases. In the United States, they are not authorized by the government or other agency to offer legal services (including legal advice) except in Washington State in the same way as lawyers, nor are they officers of the court, nor are they usually subject to government-sanctioned or court-sanctioned rules of conduct. In some jurisdictions (Ontario, Canada, for example) paralegals are licensed and regulated the same way that lawyers are and these licensed professionals may be permitted to provide legal services to the public and appear before certain lower courts and administrative tribunals.
