Paralegal Studies - Associate of Science
Job opportunities for paralegals will expand in the public sector as
well. Community legal-service programs, which provide assistance to
the poor, aged, minorities, and middle-income families, will employ
additional paralegals to minimize expenses and serve the most people.
Federal, State, and local government agencies, consumer organizations,
and the courts also should continue to hire paralegals in increasing
numbers. Private law firms will continue to be the largest employers
of paralegals, but a growing array of other organizations, such as
corporate legal departments, insurance companies, real estate and title
insurance firms, and banks hire paralegals.
To be successful, Paralegals must be able to document and present their
findings and opinions to their supervising attornies. They need to
understand legal terminology and have good research and investigative
skills. Familiarity with the operation and applications of computers in
legal research and litigation support also is increasingly important.
