what are the different job duties of a legal secretary, legal assistant and paralegal?

A legal secretary answers phones for her boss, generally does his filing (unless three is a file clerk in the firm) and does typing. If the attorneys she works for are litigators (the kind who actually go to court), she'll also have to know how to file documents with the court. From what I've seen, the duties of legal assistants and paralegals can vary widely from firm to firm and area to area. In the firm I work for, for example, they are all very high level and really do the work of attorneys, but they can't sign legal documents or give legal opinions or advice. In some firms they do mainly research and "grunt" work.

Everything.  Small businesses cannot afford to have their team members compartmentalize too much.  Whatever your primary skills and job duties, you must be willing to understand and support the overall business plan of the company, and be willing to work as a flexible team player wherever you are needed.\n\nSpecific to financial duties, of course you must be willing and able to handle basic fiscal control functions like setting up and maintaining the accounting and financial reporting systems, preparing and presenting monthly and ad hoc reports to management, preparing and helping manage to the annual budget, handling investor reporting and questions, handling the financial side of the company's asset management, managing accounts payable and receivables, and perhaps handling banking and cash management.  \n\nBut in a small business environment, you also need to be proactive and creative.  Help management anticipate the hiccups and challenges that face small businesses daily, and find creative workarounds for them.  Good luck!

The assistant sterlizes all instruments and sets up the operatory.  He or she assists the dentist during the procedure by passing instruments, retracting lip, cheek or tongue and also keeping the mouth free of saliva, blood and any other debris.  The assistant is also responsible for helping to keep the patient comfortable and educating the patient.  There are many other duties of the dental assistant... too many to list.

For one side or the other they often review and summarize the medical evidence for the lawyers. If they have a speciality they may testify too. The pay rate depends on where you live and is similar to what very experienced paralegals get.

If it is one of the agencies that allows non-attorneys to appear, and the paralegal qualifies under the agency's rules to do so, I'm sure it's OK for them to advertise their status.  Usually, though, I would think they would want or need to use the title of "licensed representiative," rather than "paralegal."

In the UK, you can work your way up. You could start out as a clerk or a paralegal, or even as a legal secretary, and study part-time to become a legal executive.  A legal executive carries out much of the same work as a solicitor, and you don't need a degree to qualify for the course. It is even possible to go to university later to do the Legal Practice Course (1 year) and then start a training contract to become  solicitor.

Entry level positions are virtually non-existent when it comes to paralegals (check the adds and you'll see). You're best bet is to start out as a legal assistant (secretary) as those jobs are much more prevalant. If you can find a legal assistant job specifically in the area for which you'd like to do paralegal work in (probate, litigation, etc.) even better. When you apply, let them know that you have your paralegal degree or certificate and that eventually you'd like to work in that capacity. Trust me, I started out at our law firm as an office services clerk (copy/mail guy) and went on to litigation paralegal status and now I am the Snr. litigation support specialist at my firm. Best of luck to you.

Executive secretaries are now referred to as Executive Administrative Assistants.  Secretary is almost a completely outdated term.\n\nExecutive Assistants typically run the show behind the scenes for higher level management.  Although the management makes all of the decisions, the assistant is the one who makes those decisions happen.  This could be anything from typing letters, creating presentations, making photocopies, answering and screening calls, travel arrangements, coordinating meetings to personal errands.  The main function of the assistant is to ensure that what the executive wants is done and time is freed up for the executive to make managerial decisions as opposed to performing tasks that take time which could be used more effectively.
