legal secretaries are a key component of the support framework of a law firm. They are responsible for tasks that are standard for any kind of secretary, as well as duties specific to legal work, such as the preparation of appeals, motions, and affidavits. Additionally, many legal secretaries assist with research, help organize exhibits before trial, and also assemble subpoenas, summonses and complaints. Some legal secretaries may also have administrative duties, depending on the size of the firm in which they are employed. Their most important job, however, due to their visibility, is to be the first line of communication between the firm and the public. Classes and certifications are available to help secretaries get acclimated to legal terminology.
