The rankings say which program, and the guides say how to become a paralegal. These posts take the questions in
between, and they are worked out the same way: from the approved programs' own pages, read and quoted for this
site, and from the federal data behind the rankings. Every figure in a post is computed from that data when the
site is built, so it moves when the data does.
What a free paralegal certificate can mean at an ABA-approved program: published tuition set against the maximum Pell Grant, what the grant and the tuition leave out, who it speaks to and where an employer can help.
Which ranked paralegal certificates require an internship, read from each program's own pages: how long placements run, who finds them, what the pages say about pay and how online certificates fit one in.
Who may enroll in an ABA-approved paralegal certificate, read from each program's own page: the college credits or degree most of them ask for, the rule behind that, and what you complete once you are in.
