Today's employers seek to reduce costs by hiring paralegals to perform some tasks formerly handled by lawyers. As a result, the U.S. Department of Labor projects that paralegal employment is expected to grow much faster than the national average for all occupations through 2014.† At Texas Careers, you can gain the knowledge, technical skills, and work habits required for a wide variety of entry-level paralegal positions in this growing field.
