Legal Research, Virtually
I love working as a virtual assistant, but there are things I miss from my days in a law office environment. One of these is the legal research I was sometimes able to assist with. For me, it was a really fascinating aspect of my job. Probably partly because I enjoy reading so much that I happily read anything and everything. I also enjoy puzzles and solving things, so reading caselaw to find the nuggets of information that could help or hurt our case was a very rewarding task.
Of course as a virtual assistant I can still do legal research. I can access online legal databases like CanLii or NexisLexis. I can search through decisions on some of the court sites (like the Supreme Court decisions). I just need someone who wants me to do it for them! I even would enjoy going to the law library if the need ever arises.
