Describe guidelines that a paralegal should follow when proofreading legal documents.
On May 06, 2024
To proofread legal documents, a paralegal:
• Should not assume that one proofreading will be sufficient to catch all problems or errors that the document may contain.
• Should read through the document again to make sure that the style and formatting elements are consistent throughout.
• Should print out the document, and go through the contents line by line to make sure that all required or relevant information is included.
• Should read through the document again, word for word, to ensure that it is free of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and typos.
