Welcome, this is all about lawyers and paralegals.
The role of a lawyer in court is to defend and represent his client.
It depends on your school career, but you can do three years in Cegep in Paralegal Technology and then another three years at Ottawa University.
The average salary of a lawyer in Quebec depends, but usually it's around $81,000
Non, a lawyer does not know all the laws. This is why he does research work to complete his knowledge and be able to defend his client depending on their situation.
It is more advantageous for the lawyer to work in a firm since it is often insured by his firm. On top of that, if the lawyer works independently, he is less likely to be recognized.
Again, it all depends on where he works. If their works in a firm, chances are that nothing will happen just like that he may get fired
No, the paralegal can also work with a notary. Not only a lawyer.
It happens that the paralegal does task that lawyers do such as sign important papers, but when it comes to court things, it's rare.
I hope that this will help you to understand the world of law even better.
