What does a virtual legal assistant do?

As a virtual legal assistant (VLA), you provide remote administrative support for lawyers at a law firm. Your responsibilities may vary depending on the needs of your employer but you typically work from home or another setting outside of the office using the internet. You may spend your workday organizing legal files, conducting research, handling scheduling and clerical functions, preparing legal briefs, and performing other paralegal duties in support of an attorney or a law practice.
