While both positions are task oriented they differ in the scope of their service. A Legal Secretary reproduces work product and a Paralegal can compose the work and assist with legal analysis, research and writing. The Paralegal drafts various types of legal documents, researches cases and can help an attorney prepare and organize information for trial. Paralegals have a much wider scope of duties and are generally considered more valuable to law offices. While a Paralegal cannot practice law or give legal advice, Paralegals can gather factual information about a client’s situation. The California Business and Professions Code section 6450 sets forth stringent requirements for 'certification' of Paralegals. Los Angeles Valley College not only meets but also surpasses the requirements for the ‘Professional Certificate’. There is no better program than the one offered at LAVC. Before you sign up for any Legal Course ask if it is Accredited and Compliant. If not, you better consider looking elsewhere, because you need to ask the question, "how much time and money will you be losing?". EASY 8-PAYMENT PLAN CONTRACT
