Hence few restrictions exist on who can call themselves paralegals, legal assistants, or related titles. Although there are some major exceptions in states such as California, Florida, and Maine, the field, for the most part, is unregulated. To begin sorting through the maze, we examine two broad categories of paralegals: those who are employees of attorneys (often called traditional paralegals) and those who are independent contractors. In general, independent contractors are self-employed individuals who control many of the administrative details of performing tasks; the objectives or end products of what they do are controlled by those who buy their services.

The shift in title from secretary to legal assistant has not been universal; there are still many legal secretaries in offices throughout the country. Yet the shift has led to an emerging preference for the paralegal title.
