As the American author and screenwriter Gabrielle Zevin has rightly quoted, “I have so much paperwork. I’m afraid my paperwork has paperwork.” This quote stands true for the field of legal paperwork. The amount of paperwork involved in the legal subject is incalculable. From filing of the case till the judgement is delivered, one thing that remains constant is the volume of legal paperwork. Almost every case in India takes years to end and this process requires tedious paperwork in copious amounts which has to be managed by the lawyers and advocates. There are several different types of suits and legal proceedings and each of these requires different abiding factors which has to be complied with. Therefore, the requirement to organise and manage the legal documentation is a capability a lawyer must have.
