OK, I've never been a professional proofreader, so I'll just have to accept that correcting grammar and punctuation is not part of the job description.
;-) No, a proofreader's skills are much more refined! You need to know not only what to correct but also when to correct. One important factor which I forgot to mention is that lawyers are often working to short deadlines set by clients, and in turn so am I - if a lawyer's client needs a document back by close of business for signing, as is often the case, then you simply have to work to that.
