I have my BA and 4+ years legal experience (you only need 1). You'll either automatically be eligible to call yourself a paralegal that way, or you can get a paralegal certificate. <BR/><BR/>I started working as a receptionist at a small law firm in undergrad, and they promoted me (while I was still in school) to legal assistant. Then I left for law school, and joined a big firm as a legal assistant.<BR/><BR/>My advice to you is... start working in a law firm ASAP! It was great experience, great networking and it allowed me to get a high paying job immediately after graduating. And it sustained me through part of law school (tho I don't recommend that route... if I could do it all over, I would go FT to law school)Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917160919955773944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-46136530057679448502009-01-22T09:56:00.000-08:002009-01-22T09:56:00.000-08:00I'm going to school right now and I am a criminal ...I'm going to school right now and I am a criminal justice major with hopes to go to law school. My question to you is, how did you become a paralegal??? And my comment is, I hope you can find a job and make the big bucks! the best of luck. :)Serendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982927577330305194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-67734003757457617042009-01-21T23:04:00.000-08:002009-01-21T23:04:00.000-08:00Hi,This is Erica Smith , a webmaster of some quali...Hi,<BR/><BR/>This is Erica Smith , a webmaster of some quality financial websites having good internet presence and traffic. As I found your website is relevant to my one, I'd like to have you as my link partner. I'm ready to give you some healthy links (both text and banner) from content pages(pr 2/3) of my websites.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, I have few brand new debt related articles which I wish to publish n your blog with my 1 link.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to your quick reply.<BR/><BR/>Have a nice day. :)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>Erica<BR/>ericasmith568(at)gmail(dot)comErica Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14631972120782490337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-84720708803308773762009-01-21T14:04:00.000-08:002009-01-21T14:04:00.000-08:00@Miss M: All the law clerk positions are part-time...@Miss M: All the law clerk positions are part-time... and the ones I saw were all at small firms. Also, they know they can drive down the wages b/c all the law students want "law clerk" on their resume... <BR/><BR/>If I'm going back to being a paralegal, I'll be headed straight to a big firm. I think I'm at an advantage, b/c a lot of law students think that position is "beneath them"... which is bs. It's still building relationships with people in the legal field, and can lead to an associate position in the same firm.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, good luck to Mr. M too!!<BR/><BR/>@supafrantastic: Thanks! :)Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917160919955773944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-55382121668648368502009-01-21T13:14:00.000-08:002009-01-21T13:14:00.000-08:00Oh, good for you!
