About Legal Secretaries.
Legal secretaries are often high earners and the job commands a lot of respect.
Some of our students with law degrees use the secretarial route to get into law firms where they can work their way up on the back of their qualifications.
So what does a legal secretary do? Well, there's a lot of typing and it really is essential to be able to type at least 70 wpm. In addition, you'll need to learn to audio type.
Outside of this, there is tremendous amount of phone work so communication skills are essential.
