n the United States, paralegals have taken
many different paths to
I their careers. These paths comprise an array of varying levels of
education, different certifications, and on-the-job-training. They work in
government, for law firms, for corporations, for real estate firms, and
for nonprofit organizations. Where they work and what they do often
depends on what mixture of experience, skills, education, and
certification they possess.
There is no specific educational requirement in most U.S. states for legal
assistants or paralegals. Some paralegals have only on-the-job experience,
while some paralegals have completed a two-year course or bachelor's
degree in paralegal studies. |

Others have completed a bachelor's or even a master's degree in
another field, and quite a few of these people have also completed a
regular or post-baccalaureate paralegal certificate. Many paralegals
have completed all of their training before entering the profession,
while others have completed their education while working their way up
from the mailroom in a law firm. Many Paralegals take Continuing Legal
Education credits to fulfill the requirements of their firm, state, or
association.
U.S. Paralegal or Legal Assistant courses of study have long been
available in associate's degree or certificate programs at community
colleges and private universities. However, similar programs exist at
four-year universities and have expanded over the years. More and more
prestigious universities offer bachelor's degrees and
post-baccalaureate certificates in the subject.Paralegals and legal
document assistants (LDAs) are often mistaken for one another; however, in most
jurisdictions, including California paralegals are not permitted to
contract directly with consumers for the preparation of legal documents. |
