Module 4: Office procedures of the legal profession
In legal work attention to detail and accuracy is crucial so typing and processing and proof reading letters and legal documents will be considered. In this module there is list of commonly used legal words and abbreviations included together with practice in using these.

Module 5: Introduction to Law
The module will look at where the law comes from – sources of law- and how it is used through Acts of Parliament [Statutes] and judge made law – case law. The different types of Courts are then considered – how they work and their personnel.

The procedure is tracked from the client’s arrest at the police station through to the appearance at Magistrates Court and Crown Court. Some criminal law is included in this module explaining the mental and physical elements required to commit a crime.

Career Profile - Secretary/Administrator


Career Profile


Working as a secretary or administrator you’re in a position of responsibility, and will need to stay organised and focused

A secretary or administrator provides both clerical and administrative support to professionals, either as part of a team or individually. You’ll be involved with the coordination and implementation of office procedures and will frequently have responsibility for specific projects and tasks. In some cases, you may oversee and supervise the work of junior staff.

The role varies greatly depending on the sector, size of the employer and levels of responsibility. Most of your work involves both written and oral communication, word processing and typing, and requires relevant skills such as IT, organisational and presentation skills, as well as the ability to multi-task and work well under pressure. In some cases, such as in legal secretarial work, specialist knowledge or qualifications may be required.

This role can often overlap with the role of a personal assistant.

Responsibilities
As a Secretary/Administrator, you’ll need to:

* use a word processing package such as Microsoft 365 and Word
* audio and copy type
* write letters
deal with telephone and email enquiries, using an email system
* photocopy and print various documents, sometimes on behalf of other colleagues
* organise and store paperwork, documents and computer-based information
* create and maintain filing and other office systems
* keep diaries and arrange appointments
* schedule and attend meetings, create agendas and take minutes – shorthand may be required to do this
* book meeting rooms and conference facilities
* liaise with staff in other departments and with external contacts
* order and maintain stationery and equipment
organise travel and accommodation for staff and other external contacts.

Depending on the sector and company, you may also carry out the following duties:

* use a variety of software packages (including Microsoft Excel, Access and Powerpoint) to manage data and produce documents and presentations
* use content management systems (CMS) to maintain and update websites and internal databases
* manage and maintain budgets and carry out invoicing
* sort and distribute incoming post and organise and send outgoing post (this may involve the use of a franking machine)
* recruit, train and supervise junior staff and delegate work as required
* manipulate statistical data
* arrange in-house and external events
* arrange training for staff members.

Salary

* Jobs in the media, not-for-profit sectors and small organisations are at the lower end of the pay scale. Employment in banking, finance, property and law firms tend to be at the upper end. Expect starting salaries in the region of £16,000 to £19,000 for roles outside London and £20,000 to £24,000 for jobs in the capital.
* With experience and increased responsibilities, salaries can rise to £20,000, and sometimes up to £40,000.

Gaining chartership or extra qualifications, or finding employment with a Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100 company, may result in a higher salary. Annual and performance-related bonuses exist in some sectors.

Income figures are intended as a guide only.

Working Hours

A working week typically ranges between 35 to 40 hours, with the working day usually taking place between 8am and 6pm. Flexi-time is sometimes available depending on the organisation.

Interim, part-time and temporary roles are common. Career breaks are possible if skills, especially IT, are maintained.

What to expect

* Work is almost entirely office based and the need to travel is uncommon, though may be required occasionally depending on the sector you work in.
* The majority of secretarial jobs are still held by women.
* The nature of the role is to support colleagues and projects rather than to take the lead on projects yourself, which may become frustrating.
* The role can be stressful at times, since the work is always focused on the needs of the manager or team. Deadlines may be imposed suddenly, demanding flexibility and reprioritisation of workload.
* Jobs are available in all areas of the UK and opportunities are widespread.

Skills
You’ll need to have:

* strong organisational skills
* presentation skills and attention to detail
* the ability to plan your own work, use your initiative and meet deadlines
* the ability to manage pressure and conflicting demands, and prioritise tasks and workload
the ability to accept and understand instructions
* oral and written communication skills
* tact, discretion and respect for confidentiality
* a pleasant, confident telephone manner
* teamworking ability
* reliability and honesty
* project-management skills
* a foreign language may be required in some roles.

Career prospects

You can develop your career in a number of ways. You may wish to specialise in one industry or area, such as legal or medical secretarial work, or become a personal assistant to a company director or other senior manager. If you have language skills, you may decide you want to move into a more specialised role such as a bilingual secretary. Or you could use your organisational skills as an office manager or team secretary, coordinating the work of others within a department or organisation.

In some sectors, such as the charity and property sectors, it’s possible to move up through internal vacancies and opportunities, or perhaps move into other areas of the company such as sales or marketing. Therefore, working in administration in a sector that you are interested in can offer much potential in terms of future career prospects.

To increase the scope for career development join a professional body such as the Institute of Administrative Management (IAM). You can also improve promotion prospects by becoming a chartered secretary with ICSA. After becoming chartered and with substantial experience, it may be possible to move into roles such as company secretary, chief executive or director of legal services.

Alternatively, you may wish to develop other specific skills for certain roles. For example, you could use your shorthand skills to become a verbatim reporter, attending court hearings and making records of the outcome.

Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.

Embarking on the Legal Administration (Level 3) course has been an enriching experience. The modules are well-structured, offering a detailed exploration of working in a legal office and the roles within. The emphasis on client care, legal administration systems, and office procedures provides a well-rounded education. I appreciated the introduction to law and specific legal areas like Conveyancing and Criminal Litigation. The course's practical approach, including typing legal documents, added a real-world dimension. It's an ideal foundation for those aspiring to become legal secretaries or pursue a career in the legal profession.
