Most people who wish to enter the legal field first become legal aides. Legal aides usually assist lawyers as a right hand man while being supervised by the lawyer. The duties of a legal aide include investigating and checking the validity of facts, preparing documents for court and other legal purposes, assisting during court proceedings, and researching laws and offering suggestions for relevant precedents in court cases to the lawyer.
To become a legal aide, one should pursue a bachelor's degree in sociology. However, most legal aides also have an associate's degree in paralegal technology. This kind of program can be taken as a certificate program and is available online through a query search. Applicants should make sure that the program is accredited before taking it. Certification is overseen by the National Association of Legal Assistants, and there is a standardized exam that a potential legal aide must take before becoming a legal aide, the Certified Legal Assistant, or CLA, exam.
Applicants should also avail themselves of the wealth of online review resources that can save a lot of wasted time in subpar programs.
A legal aide should decide what type of law that he or she would like to specialize in. Some of the specializations include criminal, corporate, administrative or probate law.
A legal aide can provide many of the same services as a lawyer for a law firm, making the profession a good one for those looking for steady work and relatively easy employment. Knowledge of online law resources and the ability to delve into graphic design and administration are helpful skills for a legal aide and will definitely help set an applicant apart in the hiring process.
A legal aide should also showcase above average communication skills and the ability to be precise and timely with documents and assignments. Outside of learning specific legal processes, a legal aide should be generally detail oriented, as many cases of law are decided on technicalities, not large moral standards.
