Paralegal Crash Course




Paralegal Crash Course

Most people have heard of an attorney and understand what service they provide to the public, but others have either never heard about paralegals or do not understand the contribution that they make to the public and the legal profession overall. 

Paralegals play an important role within a legal team and can assist with a variety of functions from legal research to assisting at trials.  There is not a one size fits all approach to becoming a paralegal.  Some individuals have earned the title by working themselves up from a receptionist position while others have obtained extensive formal training that resulted in a certificate or degree. 

Although formal training is not a requirement for becoming a paralegal obtaining formal training provides individuals with the opportunity to specialize in a particular area of this rewarding field and also expand into a niche within the legal industry like an e-Discovery specialization, environmental advocacy, construction defect law, workers compensation specialist, Court Appointed Special Advocate for children, and more.
