Role required: sn_lg_ops.legal_fulfiller{#assign-legal-request__p_qfb_nfg_h1c}

## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

When an employee submits a legal request, it is automatically assigned to a group or
user in the legal department. The assignment is done based on the [assignment rules](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/GmEiLT_hSnsPSBeqiCjDMw "Create an assignment rule for an intake form to assign the associated legal request or matter to a user or group.")
configured for the intake form of the associated practice area. If the request is
assigned to a legal group, any member from the group can triage the request
themselves or assign it to another member of the group.{#assign-legal-request__p_rfb_nfg_h1c}

## Procedimento

1. Navigate to AllLegal RequestLegal Counsel Center.
2. Click the list icon (![List icon]()).
3. In the Legal Requests, click Unassigned.
4. In the list of unassigned requests, open a request by clicking the request number.
