Approved Paralegal Schools By The ABA Continues To Grow
Currently, there are an estimated 200+ approved paralegal programs by the American Bar Association and over 1,000+ paralegal schools, universities and law schools offering some form of paralegal training.
Although, not all employers require employees to graduate from an ABA approved program, school or university it certainly doesn’t hurt ones’ resume when it’s time to look for a job - it’s more or less a credibility thing in the eyes of some employers’.
Admission requirements can vary quite a bit from paralegal school to school. While some simply require a GED or graduation from high school, others require some college credits or courses, while other’s require a bachelor’s degree.
