Paralegal-A mistake In My Research-Body 3

Due to a recent find in my search i may have posted in my first blog that you need 3 years of regular college and 4 years of law school. Well it turns out that tha infomation was in fact incorrect it turns out that.
There is no specific educational requirement in most U.S. states for legal assistants or paralegals. Some paralegals have only on-the-job experience, while some paralegals have completed a 2 year course or bachelor's dergree in paralegal studies. Others have completed a bachelor's or even a master's dergree in another field, and quite a few of these people have also completed a regular or post-baccalaureate paralegal certificate. Many paralegals have completed all of their training before entering the profession, while others have completed their education while working their way up from the mailroom in a law firm. Many paralegals take Continuing Legal Education credits to fulfill the requirements of their firm, state, or association.
