Answer:

The paralegal may also play the role of assisting or supporting the attorney in court.

Step-by-step explanation:

A paralegal is a person that has received a considerable amount of training, work experience and education in law but who does not fully qualified as lawyer. Paralegals are allowed, by law, to do a substantial amount of work that in their absence would be done by an attorney, without being an attorney themselves. They do legal research and presentations, conduct client interviews, and draft legal documents. They also can go to court and play the role of the attorney's support or assistant by drafting pleadings, preparing exhibits and conducting research. Although it is important to notice that the role that paralegals are allowed to perform in court varies through every state.
