About the Legal Assistant (US) test
Legal assistants, paralegals, and other legal support staff in the United States work closely with attorneys and perform a variety of tasks. Legal support staff often act as a liaison between clients and attorneys and may be responsible for communicating with clients, organizing meetings, and scheduling appointments. Legal support staff may also be involved in administrative tasks such as billing clients, maintaining financial records, and managing office operations.
The Legal Assistant test uses real-world situations and asks candidates to choose the most appropriate response from a series of options. These choices focus on the major skill areas of client intake, client management, filings and preparations for hearings, and general professionalism in law firm settings.
Overall, this test provides law firms with a reliable and objective way to assess the suitability of candidates for the role of legal assistant or paralegal. It ensures that candidates have the knowledge and skills required to perform the job effectively and helps firms to make informed hiring decisions.

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.
The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.
For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.
I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.
For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
