Paralegal & Legal Associate Degree Programs

If you're looking for a career in law without the years of schooling inherent in becoming a lawyer, earning an online associate degree in paralegal studies could be the key to your career. While earning an online associate degree in paralegal studies, you'll learn how to navigate the legal system and prepare a case for court. You will learn to manage all the necessary documents like wills, contracts and settlements, which you'll need in court.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, 7 out of 10 paralegals work for law firms; others work for corporate legal departments and government agencies. Salary figures vary for paralegal studies, with those who work for governmental agencies or large law firms making more than paralegals with small organizations. In 2004, the average income for a paralegal was around $40,000. To boost their salaries and resumes, many paralegals choose to specialize, like lawyers, in personal injury, corporate law, criminal cases, bankruptcy and immigration.
