Training is crucial to excelling at any career, and hands-on training is the best because it allows you to get practical experience. That is why when it comes to cracking the code of the legal world, there aren’t many careers as rewarding as a legal secretary. Yes, the entry-level position’s pay may not be noteworthy but the amount of experience one may gain may be enough for a lifetime.

They may also assist with research, billing and other tasks as directed by the attorney.
