Employment for paralegals and legal assistants is projected to grow much faster than average for all occupations through 2016. Employers are trying to reduce costs and increase the availability and efficiency of legal services by hiring paralegals to perform tasks formerly carried out by lawyers.
Formally trained paralegals should have the best employment opportunities. While some paralegals train on the job, employers increasingly prefer graduates of postsecondary paralegal education programs.
