Certification Matters
Our nationally accredited Paralegal certificate program includes the 900 clock hours of coursework needed to sit for the Accredited Legal Professional (ALP) exam and/or the Professional Paralegal (PP) certification, given by NALS…the association for legal professionals. Graduates will also meet the accredited business/legal course criteria needed to sit for the Certified Legal Assistant/Certified Paralegal (CLA/CP) exam given by the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA). Graduates must meet all parole obligations prior to sitting for the CLA/CP exam.

Is it possible for an incarcerated student to find employment as a Paralegal after their release?
We hear from many of our incarcerated graduates that they obtained paralegal positions once released. In fact, many have found positions with attorneys they met while incarcerated or during their court proceedings.
Paralegal employment is up to the employer’s discretion and also depends on the nature of the applicant’s offense. You may be limited in your capacity to obtain certain positions within the federal and state government. In addition to having the knowledge that our program provides, you will need other skills that employers are looking for, such as professionalism and good verbal and written communication skills.
Incarcerated individuals choose to take our paralegal program for various reasons. They realize the value of continuing their education, they want to become more knowledgeable in understanding their own case, or they want to show the parole board that they are working for positive change.
Securing employment is possible. However, education is never a guarantee of employment, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.
How do I get my friend or loved one started in the Paralegal program?
How does the program work once I enroll the student?
After you enroll your friend or loved one in our Correspondence Paralegal Program, you will receive two emails. The first email is the enrollment agreement and tuition protection policy. The second email is the login information for the online account. The online account is a convenience for sponsors to check the student’s progress and shipments. The first shipment of course material is mailed priority to the student the following business day. To learn more, please click here for our Getting Started Guide.
