The vast majority of legal assistants work under the guidance of an attorney at a private law firm. Other paralegals work in all levels of government or as part of a corporate legal team. Paralegal courses include civil and criminal court procedures, legal research, legal report writing, legal terminology, torts and contracts, estate law, and family law.
