International Paralegal Job Description

'An international paralegal is a paralegal who works in the area of international law. Some international paralegals work for private law firms that specialize in international law, such as trade law, treaty law, or international antitrust law. Other paralegals work for international organizations like the United Nations, World Trade Organization, or World Bank, assisting those organizations with the legal aspects of their work. Because international paralegals are not attorneys and have not been admitted to the bars of any state, they must always work under the direction of a practicing attorney.
