Callistemon in regard to your post @23:46 yesterday, I believe you misunderstand the role of a legal secretary when court documents are being compiled.
It is the role of the expert witness to address the scientific, medical, technical or any other issue that may require the judgment of the court. A legal secretaries main role in that process is offten to research where other court judgments may bring influence to the case at hand.
By example to the above, where there has been a workplace accident it is the role of the expert witness to examine all matters that may have caused the incident. In that, the expert will search out any risk assessments that have been compiled that are relevant to the incident, and then oversee whether those assessments were sufficient in composition to cover the work practise involved. That professional would then look at the safe working practices employed in any procedure and if any PPEs etc that are supplied are adequate to the process, and whether all the forgoing are sufficient in total for the task that is carried out.
The role of the legal secretary in the above is, as stated, to research where there may have been a similar workplace accident or incident that have been brought before the courts. The secretary then will seek out the judgments in those cases, and then examine as to whether those verdicts are relevant to the case under examination.
The legal secretary then draws both the expert witness report and his or her own findings into single or multiple documentations that are then added to "the bundle" to be placed before the court.
While carrying out all the above it is also the job of the legal secretary to proofread all reports etc and ensure that every comma, period and apostrophe are exactly where they should be.
Of course, close collaboration is required between the professional expert and the legal secretary throughout all stages of the above.
