* * "Paralegal" means a person (regardless of title) who is qualified through education, training, or work experience and is employed (or contracted) by a lawyer, law office, governmental agency, or other entity to work under the direction of an attorney in a capacity that involves the performance of substantive legal work that usually requires a sufficient knowledge of legal concepts and would be performed by the attorney in the absence of the paralegal.
