Hmm, we were actually going for the same point you're making by using that analogy. The thinking is that lawyers handle legal advice (and practice law), while legal assistants handle legal administrative work (and don't give legal advice or practice law). Maybe there's a better way to say that though. I'll think about it, thanks for bringing that up!

"Legal advice" vs. "legal information" vs. "project management"/"clerical work"/"administrative work". Legal assistants are often carrying out the instructions of lawyers. I've never seen one that operated independent of a lawyer.
