| Aspect | Legal Word Processor | Legal Secretary |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires strong typing, legal document formatting skills, and familiarity with legal terminology | Often requires administrative skills, basic legal knowledge, and sometimes legal assistant certification |
| Work Environment | Primarily works in law firms, legal departments, or courts, focusing on document preparation | Works in law firms or legal offices, handling administrative tasks and client communication |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Used mainly in legal document production and formatting roles | Commonly employed in legal support staff roles for administrative and clerical duties |
Legal Word Processors focus on preparing and formatting legal documents, while Legal Secretaries handle administrative tasks and support legal staff. Both roles are essential in legal settings but differ in responsibilities and skill requirements.
As a legal word processor, you work for a law firm or corporation. Your primary responsibilities are legal correspondence and written documentation. Your job duties include administrative work, like answering the phone or distributing mail to colleagues, but most of your work involves typing drafts of reports, documents, and legal correspondence to clients from notes, rough drafts, corrected copies, or voice recordings. The qualifications for a job as a legal word processor are a certificate or associate degree in legal studies or paralegal studies, excellent written communications skills, and general computer proficiency. Previous administrative or office management experience can help you start a career as a legal word processor.
