Because lawyers depend on their paralegals and legal assistants to help them be more efficient and effective, the paralegal profession is thriving. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the field of paralegals is expected to grow by 15% over the next eight years. Typically, paralegals draft legal documents, research laws and regulations, and assist attorneys and lawyers with cases and help prepare for trials.
Paralegals may help with some administrative tasks, yet most of their workload is engaging with clients and working on cases. Charged with keeping track of and analyzing case documentation and information, paralegals need to be well versed in the online world of databases and computer software to be successful in their positions. According to Paralegal EDU, there is a lot of variability in the opinion of what certification/credentials a paralegal needs for the industry to recognize them as qualified. There is no standard paralegal preparation course, certificate or degree. Because of the variability, there is a variety of certificate programs and undergraduate degrees that aim to teach paralegals the skills they need to be successful.
