Showing legal support depth

Caseload or matters supported, filings prepared and courts, discovery volume handled, research and drafting responsibilities, and any process or template work that saved attorney time. Certification (NALA, NFPA) and paralegal education go near the top. The Attorney Resume is the lawyer's version; the Legal Resume covers in-house and operations roles. Paralegals in administrative-heavy roles can compare the Executive Assistant Resume.

Format

Single-column, conservative, one page. This layout follows the professional resume templates style. Government paralegal postings may require the Federal Resume format.
