Law Clerks are an integral part of any law office. Some of their duties covers drafting legal documents under the supervision of a lawyer, reviewing and summarizing productions from various parties to an action, conducting legal research, and maintaining files. They also revise documents drafted by themselves and others, and ready them for filing with the Courts or for delivery to other counsel. Law clerks also assist lawyers daily with preparation for legal proceedings, such as motions and trials. They schedule examinations for discoveries, teleconferences, mediations, pre-trials and trials. Entering dockets and preparing client accounts are also important tasks of a law clerk. |
