The Field The demand for legal representation in personal injury is on the rise in commensuration with the increased level of accidents and injuries in the country. Again, the demand for registered paralegals in this line is also increasing. It is believed that paralegals could take up all the tasks and responsibilities of practicing attorneys or lawyers, except court representations, signing Court documents, or directly interacting with clients. Therefore, there is tremendous scope for this profession, especially in the area of personal injury. “A Legal Assistant or paralegal is a person, qualified through education, training or work experience, who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency, or other entity and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which the lawyer is responsible.” (Flynn).
