What can i do with an associates or bachelors degree in paralegal studies? What are the primary responsibilitiess of such a position? Is there room for advancement? What is a REALLY quality online program to earn such degrees?

And please, no profane nor obscene comments. Let’s keep it Holy. Thank you in advance for your professional, poignant and articulate responses. : )

As a previous poster said, do not attend an online paralegal program. The only programs worth your time and money are those approved by the American Bar Association (ABA). I did a 2 year associates degree program and found it very, very rewarding.

Paralegal job duties vary depending on the size of the firm and the type of law. In small law firms paralegals tend to also bear the duties of a legal secretary, office manager, and sometimes cleaning crew. I once worked for a sole practitioner and had to do everything from cleaning her office, making coffee and answering phones to writing legal briefs and researching case law.

In a mid size firm, where there is a legal secretary, the paralegals just work their cases and assist their attorneys. This can include duties such as scheduling appointments/consultations, maintaining attorney calendars, correspondence with clients, performing legal research, drafting pleadings, court filings, case tracking, and much more.

However, a paralegal education, even an associates degree, does not qualify nor prepare one to work as a paralegal. Like a previous poster said, many have to start entry level as a clerk or secretary and work their way up. With 2 years law office experience and a 2 year paralegal degree you should be ready to work as a paralegal.

I prefer to stay away from DeVry and UOP. I would like a community college for my associates but am not sure if they will offer a complete online degree. Any help would be great.

This site has a couple more schools offering paralegal programs to help broaden your search a bit hopefully:

Good luck!

(online), I have applied to University of Memphis to complete a Bachelor’s degree in international business or marketing. I am having second thoughts about my path now. Should I continue with a Bachelor’s in Information Technology or a more specific business fields? Shall I attend traditional campus or continue online? I have done it before, it’s great, but time consuming. For business traditional campus seems like a great idea. But if I continue with IT, then what better place to get the degree than online, where you are forced to deal with more software and the internet? The IT field is growing so fast and there are so many high paying jobs and new fields, but business has a proven success record with hard work. Hard work will, of course, always be necessary. But what field and end to a means is the most noteworthy and reasonable? Give me your opinion.

Congrats on finishing your AA. IT is a great field to be in, you can always pick up an MBA down the road when you have some business experience.

I wouldn’t recommend UOP for the degree, even tho it is regionally accredited and will allow you to be licensed. A Memphis IT degree is best case. Online degrees are great for people who don’t have access to local school, the military, or working parents, but if you have access to Memphis, definitely go there.

If you are going on line, DeVry is the best option.

To correct Kalos, you do NOT want to go to Grantham, it is only nationally accredited, and not a good one at that.

Regardless of delivery method (on ground, online, hybrid), a higher ed institution in the US can have 3 institutional accreditation statuses.

1. Regionally accredited – the highest and most useful.
2. Nationally accredited – real, but not as recognized or useful. Yes it is less than regional accreditation, which isn’t intuitive.
3. Unaccredited
