What are the ranks of a paralegal?
407598
Over the last decades, four distinctive levels of paralegal education have developed: on-the-job (OJT) training, associate's degree or undergraduate paralegal certificate programs, bachelor's in paralegal programs, and post-baccalaureate certificate programs

Every Paralegal has to control everything. Most importantly you have to watch what you and the Attorney say and write.

In the United States, JD (Juris Doctor) is the graduate degree you earn from law school, and has nothing to do with becoming a paralegal.\n\nMost paralegal programs are around 30-40 credits, so roughly one year if you already have an undergraduate degree (associates or bachelors). If you don't many schools offer an Associates degree as a Paralegal, adding in the general education requirements (math, english, oral communications, social studies, etc.) \n\nCertified Paralegal is a special status that comes from one of two professional associations. National Association of Legal Assistants, and National Federation of Paralegal Associations.

nearly every agency will use different titles for various ranks. In general patrol officers will be called officers, troopers, constables or sheriffs. Supervisors may be called sergeants, lieutenants etc. In some departments detectives and inspectors are higher ranks then patrol officers.

I think paralegals are in demand. Look at this sue happy nation we live in and it just gets worse. Johnman is correct - make sure your course is ABA or at least the state you live in bar association approved. Paralegals in effect are becoming somewhat of private investigators as far as records research and so on. Research is the fun part in my opinion... Pay can be good. Depends on the area you live in and the firm you work for.

You need to be a little more specific.  What do you mean by various levels...levels between ranks or types of agencies like local vs. state vs. federal?

Entry level positions are virtually non-existent when it comes to paralegals (check the adds and you'll see). You're best bet is to start out as a legal assistant (secretary) as those jobs are much more prevalant. If you can find a legal assistant job specifically in the area for which you'd like to do paralegal work in (probate, litigation, etc.) even better. When you apply, let them know that you have your paralegal degree or certificate and that eventually you'd like to work in that capacity. Trust me, I started out at our law firm as an office services clerk (copy/mail guy) and went on to litigation paralegal status and now I am the Snr. litigation support specialist at my firm. Best of luck to you.

It depends on what your associates degree is for and where you are living. I have an associates of applied science (paralegal) and it is a tough job market out there, just being out of school, with no real hands on experience. If your looking to get an associates degree I would highly reccomend something basic, like; accounting, business management, or medical transcription.

If you've been laid off or qualify for unemployment, you may qualify for "job retraining" at a local community college or public voc-tech school, and these may offer paralegal training.\n\nThe best paralegal training you can get is on the job. See if there's a firm in your area who needs an extra hand, and let them know you want a career in the paralegal field - it may be worth their investment to get you started.

One of a paralegal’s most important tasks is helping lawyers prepare for closings, hearings, trials, and corporate meetings. Paralegals investigate the facts of cases and ensure that all relevant information is considered. They also identify appropriate laws, judicial decisions, legal articles, and other materials that are relevant to assigned cases. After they analyze and organize the information, paralegals may prepare written reports that attorneys use in determining how cases should be handled. Should attorneys decide to file lawsuits on behalf of clients, paralegals may help prepare the legal arguments, draft pleadings and motions to be filed with the court, obtain affidavits, and assist attorneys during trials. Paralegals also organize and track files of all important case documents and make them available and easily accessible to attorneys

You could try contacting two of the major paralegal associations: the National Federation of Paralegal Association http://www.paralegals.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=22\nor the National Legal Assistant Association http://www.nala.org/#.  \n\nHope that helps.

I am a librarian, and the absolute best place to find accurate, current salary information for all jobs is the Unityed States Department of Labor's "Occupational Outlook Handbook 2006-2007." Here is what it says about legal secretaries (click here for a full job description http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos114.htm):\n\n\nEarnings of paralegals and legal assistants vary greatly. Salaries depend on education, training, experience, the type and size of employer, and the geographic location of the job. In general, paralegals who work for large law firms or in large metropolitan areas earn more than those who work for smaller firms or in less populated regions. In addition to earning a salary, many paralegals receive bonuses. In May 2004, full-time wage and salary paralegals and legal assistants had median annual earnings, including bonuses, of $39,130. The middle 50 percent earned between $31,040 and $49,950. The top 10 percent earned more than $61,390, while the bottom 10 percent earned less than $25,360. Median annual earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of paralegals in May 2004 were as follows:\n\nFederal Government-- $59,370 \nLocal government--  $38,260 \nLegal services-- $37,870 \nState government--  $34,910
