When choosing a career field or branching off in the career you are already in there are endless possiblities. In the career field I choose, which is paralegal I can branch off as a law clerk, legal secratery or stay as a paralegal.
Each field serve the basic needs to lawyers or judges such as meeting with clients and other professionals to discuss details of a case. As well as preparing documents, briefs, wills, contracts, and appeals. Under the law umbrella not all the core tasks are the same.
For example, a paralegal core tasks may include gathering and analyzing research data, such as statutes, decisions, and legal articles, codes and documents. Where on the other hand, a law clerk have to just search for and study legal documents to investigate facts and law codes. A legal secratary may have to make copies of those correspondence documents and other printed matters.
A law clerk supplemental tasks includes delivering or direct delivery of subpoenas to witnesses and parties to action, arrange transportation and accommodation for witnesses and jurors, if required. They also appraise and inventory real and personal property for estate planning. Paralegals and law clerks share the same supplemental tasks, however, a legal secretary carry out more of the office supplemental tasks. For example they review legal publications and perform database searches to identify laws and court decisions relevent to pending cases and submit them for approval for use.
Looking back at all three careers they share core tasks to serve the baskic needs for lawyers and judges to prepare and discuss details of cases. No matter what field I may choose to do or later in life branch off to, I will have the basic work experience to effectivly perform each career. Paralegals, law clerks, and legal secrateries play an imporant part in the legel area, because without out them it would make the jobs for lawyers, judges and other professionals alot harder.
