How would a paralegal use algebra?

Category: Law & Legal

rollings83rollings83


Such as daily assignments when working in a law office, how would a paralegal/legal secretary use algebra? What types of algebra topics would be used, specifically? (Ex. radical expressions, etc.) I am going into this profession and am currently taking algebra, in which the professor would like us to give examples of how we would use this math in our future career.

This is a position based on the interpretation of language. The only time I could see Algebra being used is if in addition to your legal duties, you also did work in the billing department, but that's computer-automated anyway.

The only time I use algebra is in damage model calculations, and even then, it is BASIC algebra. Most of the formulas I create are for excel worksheets. I work in civil litigation. I honestly don't use algebra that much.
