In this episode, Ann discusses the confusion and debate surrounding the use of the job titles "legal assistant" and "paralegal." While the ABA now distinguishes between paralegals and legal assistants, there is still inconsistency in how these titles are used by different organizations and law firms. Ann also highlights the differences in educational requirements, skills, and salaries between paralegals and legal assistants. Don't forget to visit the website for additional resources and stay tuned for the upcoming episode on paralegal management.

Key Takeaways:

  • The ABA updated its definition of a paralegal in 2020, distinguishing it from a legal assistant.
  • Paralegals typically require a minimum of an associate's degree and a paralegal certificate, while legal assistants may not have specific educational requirements.
  • Paralegals often have more in-depth legal knowledge and perform substantive legal work, while legal assistants focus on administrative tasks.
  • The use of the titles "paralegal" and "legal assistant" varies among organizations and law firms, leading to confusion for clients and the general public.
