If
you look up the definition of Administrator you will
find the following:
ad·min·is·tra·tor
(ąd-mīn¹ī-strā“ter)
noun
Abbr. admin.,
adm.
- One who administers, especially business or public
affairs; an executive.
- One appointed to administer an estate.
How
is it that such a complex position can be so easily
defined? As a fellow Administrator, I am sure that you
will agree that the true definition of our position
would be much more complex. Additionally, as Legal
Administrator's there are some very unique challenges
that can further complicate the definition.
Needless to say, the requirements for a Legal
Administrator would be "a very diverse set of knowledge
and skills in the areas of Accounting, Marketing,
Technology, Law, Human Resources and Management." How do
we get this knowledge, a degree in Business
Administration? That certainly helps, however, there is
nothing more valuable than shared experience.
Shared
experience is precisely what you can obtain through a
membership with the Association of Legal Administrators.
The only requirement is that you have a position
with a law firm, government legal agency, corporate law
department, Judicial Agency or Court in which you have
administrative responsibilities.
Your
membership opens up doors to a vast amount of knowledge
and experience through
meetings, seminars and contacts with fellow
administrators, as well as
potential
vendors who serve many law firms. The Gateway
Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators is
your leading resource on law firm management in the St.
Louis area.
