Paralegals Can Become Attorneys. There are paralegals who have become attorneys, and you can tooâ¦if youâre willing to commit yourself to a few more years of hard work. The major benefit to advancing from a paralegal to an attorney is that itâs not that big of a career stretch. You are already doing most of the work of an attorney right now.
Most paralegals and legal assistants have an associateâs degree in paralegal studies, or a bachelor's degree in another field and a certificate in paralegal studies. In some cases, employers hire college graduates with a bachelorâs degree with no legal experience or education and train them on the job.aralegals can be a less costly alternative to lawyers and can perform a wide variety of duties, including tasks once done by lawyers. This will cause an increase in demand for paralegals and legal assistants.
