AdminSecret's Legal Secretary Resources
Legal secretaries perform many of the same tasks as other secretaries, such as answering telephones and typing letters. Many of the documents they prepare must follow strict guidelines, so legal secretaries need to know the specialized formats for legal documents. They also perform many critical office functions, including maintaining supplies and equipment, receiving, preparing and transmitting communications, planning conferences, receiving clients and instructing staff.
AdminSecret compiled here some of our best articles for aspiring and current legal secretaries.
