In fact, paralegals/legal assistants assume a growing range of tasks in the nation's legal offices and perform many of the same tasks as attorneys. A paralegal's tasks can include helping lawyers prepare for closings, hearings, trials, and corporate meetings. Paralegals investigate the facts of cases and ensure that all relevant information is considered.
