Edited sentence: When an attorney in a trial movie produces a blow-up exhibit, examines or cross-examines a witness on the stand, or brings documents to court to introduce as evidence, you are witnessing the work of one or more paralegals who prepared the exhibits and obtained the documents by subpoena or by locating and copying public records.When opposing counsel on the television program Law & Order dramatically produces a motion and brief at the proper moment, it is likely the case that a team of unnamed paralegals, law clerks, and/or junior associate attorneys had a lot to do with it
