A quick definition of legal secretary:

A legal secretary is someone who works in a law office and helps lawyers with their work. They type important legal documents and letters, keep track of files and records, and do other tasks to support the law practice. Legal secretaries are usually more skilled and paid more than regular secretaries who work in other types of businesses.

A legal secretary is an employee who works in a law office and performs various administrative tasks to support the employer's law practice. Their responsibilities include:

  • Typing legal documents and correspondence
  • Keeping records and files
  • Answering phone calls and emails
  • Scheduling appointments and meetings
  • Performing other duties as assigned by the employer
