About Paralegal / Legal Assistant Colleges:
According to the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA), the legal assistant profession is projected to grow by 33% during the first 10 years of this century. About 7 out of 10 legal assistants work for law firms; others work for corporate legal departments and government agencies. They are not authorized to engage in the practice of law (giving legal advice, presenting cases in court, etc.), but they do legal research to help their employers prepare for hearings, trials, and corporate meetings.
