If you want to develop your knowledge of law so that you can embark on a rewarding career or maybe you are already working in a related field and want to improve your career prospects, then this is the course for you.
Legal secretaries give administrative support to lawyers, legal executives and paralegals, and often help with the day-to-day tasks in running a legal firm. Opportunities exist in solicitors’ offices, barristers’ chambers, law courts, local authorities, the police and armed forces, finance houses, insurance companies and estate agents, earning up to £30,000 per annum.
Some law firms specialise in areas such as corporate law or criminal law, while others deal with a wider range of legal matters including property, divorce and family law. In local firms, legal secretaries gain a wide range of experience, whilst in larger firms they may specialise in one or two areas of law.
The Distance Learning Legal Secretary course will focus on equipping you with the knowledge and skills to work as a Legal Secretary. You will study how the law is developed, how it has changed, plus a range of common legal matters that you may be involved with, such as mortgages and wills.
As well as solicitors’ offices and barristers’ chambers, you could work for law courts, local authorities, estate agents or the police.
Your day-to-day activities may include:
If you work for a small, local firm, you’ll develop experience in a wide range of legal matters. In larger firms you’ll usually specialise in one particular area of law.
With experience you could become a senior secretary, PA or office manager in larger firms.
With further qualifications, you could become a legal executive, paralegal or licensed conveyancer.
You could also work towards training as a solicitor or barrister.
