'A bankruptcy paralegal is someone who works under the supervision of licensed attorneys in law offices that handle bankruptcy matters. Bankruptcy paralegals do not practice law, as they are not licensed attorneys, but they help in many aspects of bankruptcy matters. They often prepare initial drafts of bankruptcy court filings and handle administrative tasks relating to cases being litigated in the United States bankruptcy courts. A bankruptcy paralegal is sometimes called a bankruptcy legal assistant.
