Notes on employment for Paralegals and legal assistants

While some paralegals train on the job, employers increasingly prefer graduates of postsecondary paralegal education programs; college graduates who have taken some paralegal courses are especially in demand in some markets.
Paralegals are projected to grow faster than average, as law offices try to reduce costs by assigning them tasks formerly carried out by lawyers.
Paralegals are employed by law firms, corporate legal departments, and various government offices and they may specialize in many different areas of the law.
