A legal secretary with no experience can handle secretarial responsibilities in a legal office or law firm. Your duties depend on the needs of the lawyers with whom you work. Entry-level legal secretaries assist with administrative tasks, prepare and file legal paperwork, schedule appointments with clients, and greet visitors to the office. You can also type legal briefs, proofread legal documents and correspondence, and perform research at the request of the attorneys that you assist. You also oversee office inventory, order supplies, and contact third-party service providers, such as repair workers or office cleaners, when necessary.
