The ABA has a list of paralegal poargrms that have met their standards, and the American Assn for Paralegal Education has a list of their membership and some articles regarding how to choose a quality program.

By non-paralegal jobs, I assume you mean jobs hanvig nothing to do with law? If that’s the case, you don’t need a paralegal degree, you need a degree in office systems technology. If you want to work as a legal secretary, yes, hanvig a paralegal degree would help.

A few thoughts:One srecive I’ve seen being done successfully by a solo-practitioner paralegal is corporate srecives, i.e. acting as the agent for corporations, taking care of corporate filings with the secretary of state (incorporation documents, annual reports, etc.) and various corporate formalities like organizing the minute book and stock certificates, etc.If you have more of a litigation background, there’s probably some contract work available from time to time from solo lawyers or firms whose own staff is overburdened by a large case like reviewing and organizing discovery materials and the like. This would likely not be done out of your home, though.

I have been working as a plaaaegrl for many years, and I can tell you I have NEVER worked with someone who attended an online program. I don’t think ANY solely online program is sufficient.With regard to the ABA approval mentioned by a previous poster, the ABA’s rules for approval EXCLUDE all solely online programs.If you can swing it, the closest thing to an online program that is likely to be accepted is called a limited residency program. These can be approved by the ABA.You definitely want a regionally accredited school, and if a school tells you it’s licensed by some official-sounding government body, see if you can find out what types of schools the agency approves there’s at least one plaaaegrl school in NY licensed by the NYS Education Department, which sounds good until you realize that agency primarily licenses hairdresser and bartending schools, and there are no ABA approved programs licensed by that agency.Also watch out for programs that claim affiliation with a plaaaegrl organization. Some do so without authority from the organization, and others create their own plaaaegrl associations for the sole purpose of listing membership! There are some sneaks out there because the business of running a plaaaegrl school is lucrative if you don’t have the costs of a quality program.

I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.
