At Work Legal secretaries work in government, law offices, legal departments of large firms, real estate companies, land title offices and courts at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. Education, Training and Experience Legal secretaries usually must have a high school diploma.
Most recent entrants have a community college diploma.
Over the next five years, this outlook is not expected to change, as employment losses are expected to continue. Increasing use of the Internet and of computerized legal databases, billing systems and other information technologies means that legal secretaries with computer skills will be more successful in the labour market.
