There are currently no certification requirements for paralegals except in the state of California. However, it is recommended that you obtain your paralegal certification in order to secure employment. A paralegal certification, while voluntary, is valuable as it shows potential employers that you are a qualified paralegal job candidate.
One of the main paralegal certificates includes the Certified Legal Assistant (CLA) established by the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA). Another is the Paralegal Advanced Competency Exam (PACE) which is administered through the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA).
