Paralegal Is the career for the 1990's
The paralegal profession is "hot", as considerable media attention
demonstrates. Recently Good Housekeeping ranked Paralegal as one
of its "8 Recessions Proof Jobs." The Wall Street Journal referred to
it as one of the occupations where corporations need more qualified
workers. In May, USA Today ran a full page story which confirmed the
paralegal field's position among the USA's fastest-growing careers,
and the Financial News television network ran a segment about how the
paralegal profession is expected to thrive despite less exciting news for
attorneys.
There is no particular educational or professional background from
which paralegals emerge. You do not have to have been a pre-law
major in college or a legal secretary to consider this career as an option.
Today, paralegals have a variety of job options to consider, including
working for law firms, government agencies, corporate legal depart
ments, banks and real estate development firms.
The National Center for Paralegal Training, based in Atlanta, is
approved by the American Bar Association and requires either a
baccalaureatedegree or employer sponsorship with law-related work
experience for acceptance. The National Center also accepts a limited
number of students who meet the ABA's required college credits. The
National Center draws students from all over the nation, and its more-
than-8,000 graduates can be found working in 39 different states.
For further information about the paralegal profession and the Na
tional Center for Paralegal Training, please call 1-800-275-7842 or
Judy Metcalfe at (404) 266-1060. Inquiries should be mailed to: The
National Center for Paralegal Training, 3414 Peachtree Road, N.E.,
Suite 528, Atlanta, GA 30326.
