A Message from the President
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the paralegal field is among the fastest growing in the country and is likely to continue for years to come. Employment is projected to grow much faster than average as employers try to reduce costs by hiring paralegals to perform tasks formerly carried out by lawyers. Formally trained paralegals should have the best employment opportunities as competition for positions continues. Most entrants to the field have an associates degree in paralegal studies, or for those who have already earned a bachelor's degree, a certificate in paralegal studies. In addition, according to the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants, for almost 20 years, legal nurse consultants have acted as collaborators, strategists, and educators by offering support in medically related litigation and other medical-legal matters in a number of areas.
The founder of The Paralegal Institute, John Morrison, had a vision for preparing paralegal professionals for the workforce years ago, making The Paralegal Institute one of the oldest and best-respected distance learning institutions in the United States. Since 1974, The Paralegal Institute has led the way in excellence with its paralegal programs!
