- MODULE 2: LEGAL SECRETARIAL SKILLSThe role of legal secretaries, also known as attorney administrative assistants or legal assistants, has evolved in the past two decades. As with everything else, technology continues to transform the traditional law office. Legal secretaries must transcend conventional roles of typing and answering phones to overseeing high-value activities between attorneys and clients and with regard to legal proceedings. Legal secretaries do what any administrative assistant might do, except that the legal world is a bit more complicated. They perform secretarial duties using legal terminology, procedures, and documents. Legal secretaries also prepare legal papers and correspondence, including summonses, complaints, motions, and subpoenas. They may also assist with legal research.9
