Surprisingly, you can not even study anywhere. Although many colleges and universities offer paralegal qualification programs (typically a two-year Associate Degree or a four-year Bachelor), formal education is not required to work as a paralegal. From my own experience, I can say that, perhaps, the best paralegal, who worked with me for more than five years, did not have any special education at all, except for a school certificate. The ability to think quickly, organize information, accuracy in office work, and high-quality work with clients is what makes an employee an indispensable assistant in law practice. A paralegal is not required to know the laws and skills to interpret them - he should not be an independent mechanism, but an impeccably working tool in the hands of a lawyer. Such a paralegal near me will always be in demand and will never be left without work. For example, when I moved with my office far enough from the center and my beautiful paralegal without higher education mentioned above realized that it was inconvenient for her to go to work in a new office, I put information about her in a local advocacy group, and my employee was employed after two hours. She has been in this job for several years, and the new employer is very pleased.

Of course, this ease of entry into the profession makes it an attractive option for immigrants with a law degree from their home country.
