Life as a Paralegal: A Living Map

A paralegal runs the work around a case or deal: organising the file, researching, building chronologies, preparing bundles and reviewing documents, always within the limits of supervision, confidentiality and honesty about what a non-lawyer may do. Accuracy and deadlines are the discipline, and the role can lead in several directions. Press Play to watch the map build, click an idea for its definition and the usual trap, or trace a short case. A simplified teaching map.

Hover over an idea to light up what it connects to, click it for its definition, minimum requirements, an example and the usual trap, press Play to watch the map build step by step, or trace a short case through it.

Simplified teaching map, in general terms. Check the law where you work. On a small screen, scroll the map sideways.
