Are the soft and hard skills that paralegals learn such as writing, analytical skills, public speaking, typing fast, and working with people transferable to other fields or even to business? I have an AA in Liberal Arts. I have an undergraduate degree in English. I want to attend law school. My family does not want me to attend law school because they think that I would not be able to handle the stress or the pressure because I have Cerebralpalsy and learning disabalaties.

Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines, work, work, work, grammar.

How is it that a paralegal program is a 4 yr. university program? Isn't this an associate degree, 2 yr. program?

[@MrSouthsideMuscle]

It could be an 8 year program depends on how much money they're trying to scam you out of

[@jai3047]

How about international students' requirements and scholarships to offer.

Has anyone who was considering applying to law school in America changed their mind about applying to and or going to law school in America changed their mind after finishing a formal Paralegal Studies program in America?

[@bluesuperman1]

[@b3at2]

so do you go to school to learn how to be a paralegal or do you go to school to prove you are good enough to be a paralegal? LMAO

[@leslie824]

i would like to know that too😭😭

[@user-dl9po2zb2h]

Exactly!!!

[@federal6616]

I see this as another game. Mite as well become an attorney. Notary pubic is always cheaper if you want to fumble with documents without being pimped by an attorney

[@NkrumahTure]

I agree. I'd rather be the principal expert, and not the one who's expected to kiss asses all day. That's not for me.
