Since there is no standard requirement or general certification for the paralegal profession, many non-profit and educational organizations have sprung up across the country offering their version of a paralegal certificate.
There are over 800 paralegal programs offered in the U.S., but only about 30% of these are approved by the American Bar Association
Regardless of whether or not certification is required, a paralegal certificate is valuable for pursuing a career as a paralegal. Therefore, if you plan to be a professional paralegal, it may be worth your time to get certified.
