 Paralegals are seen as essential members of every type of law firm in both the public and private sectors. This provides a wide range of choices for a graduate in this field. An increasing number of agencies and firms who employ paralegals prefer that they have some postsecondary education, and that they are graduates of formal paralegal training programs. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, because law offices will increasingly try to reduce costs by reassigning legal tasks from lawyers to paralegals, job growth is expected to be faster than average through 2012.  “My two internships in the State Attorney General’s Office and a private law office gave me the edge I needed to land my first job as a paralegal.” Jennifer Dion, Paralegal Program, Class of 2003 Jennifer is currently employed at Secor, Cassidy & McPartland, P.C. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
