Missouri Bar Committee on Paralegals
Who is a Paralegal?
A paralegal, qualified through education, training or work experience, is employed or retained by an attorney, law firm, government agency, corporation, or other entity to perform substantive and procedural legal work under the ultimate direction and supervision of an attorney or as authorized by administrative, statutory, or court authority.
"Paralegal Experience" shall mean the performance of substantive legal work, non-clerical or non-administrative in nature, that absent a paralegal, an attorney would perform. (Adopted by the Committee on Paralegals of the Missouri Bar, November 9, 2001)
