What is the job outlook for paralegal work?
The market is doing very well! Right now, there is even a shortage of paralegals in corporate law and intellectual property. Most young graduates gravitate toward litigation after finishing their studies, out of comfortits the most covered specialty in their education. The department of education should consider changing the breakdown of paralegal courses to better meet demand for the sought-after specialities. The increase in demand has led to an increase in paralegal salaries. Professional development is also increasingly common. Firms often allow paralegals to follow courses or attend conferences. The occupation of paralegal nowadays has more status. Firms sometimes even prefer to hire a paralegal rather than an inexperienced lawyer. Paralegals are not as costly, and their technical expertise is a valuable asset for certain types of jobs.
