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.
About Paralegals Paralegals assist lawyers in the delivery of legal services. The career began to develop in the late 1960's when law firms and individual practitioners sought ways to improve the efficient and cost effective delivery of legal services. Utilization of paralegals in a law firm ultimately reduces the cost to the client and frees time for attorneys. Paralegals are qualified by education, training or work experience and are employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity to perform specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible.
