Alternative Preparation for Law School Article

Law School is expensive. We’re talking about upwards of $80,000 average debt over the 3 short years it will take you to complete your law school degree. Here is a brief article talking a little bit about paralegals and legal secretaries and how working for a law firm in this capacity may be a means to pave your way through law school.

Occasionally, a law firm may hire a paralegal with the condition that he/she go to law school in the future. This arrangement can serve two purposes for a firm. The first purpose is to try to obtain the most dedicated and hardworking employees, because individuals with high aspirations will tend to have those qualities. The second purpose is to set up a long-term investment for the firm.
