PARALEGAL:
The Keystone Alliance of Paralegal Associations defines a paralegal as a "person who is qualified through education, training, or work experience to perform substantive legal work requiring knowledge of legal concepts and ethics and is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, governmental agency, or other entity to work under the direction of an attorney or pursuant to state statute, administrative regulation or court authority in a capacity that, in most instances, would be performed by an attorney in the absence of a paralegal."
