Mount Kisco, NY (PRWEB) September 24, 2005
According to i-paralegal.com, paralegals help make lawyers look organized. They typically sort, prepare, photocopy, and index documents, while also interviewing witnesses or conducting hearings.
Many programs exist to train paralegals. NFPA recommends a formal paralegal education program, which approximately 84 percent of current paralegals have. Training programs consist of 24 semester hours in legal studies. NFPA offers the Paralegal Advanced Competency Exam to establish and recognize high standards in the paralegal profession. In order to qualify for the exam, a paralegal must have a bachelorÂs degree, have completed an accredited paralegal program, and have at least two years of paralegal experience.
As i-paralegal.com explains, the level of education needed to become a paralegal depends the kind of paralegal work desired and the length of a paralegal career. A recent college graduate, for example, who wants to be a paralegal in order to help her chances of getting into law school, may not want to seek additional training. A person wishing to become a career paralegal, on the other hand, would benefit from the additional training.
