就业前景

The paralegal profession continues to be among the fastest growing of any profession in the nation. 以下是节选自 U.S. 劳工统计局 律师助理职业的就业前景:

"就业 of paralegals and legal assistants is projected to grow 10 percent from 2019 to 2029, 比所有职业的平均水平快得多.

As 法律 firms try to increase the efficiency of legal services and reduce their costs, 预计他们将雇佣更多的律师助理和法律助理. 在这些情况下, paralegals and legal assistants can take on a "hybrid" role within the firm, performing not only traditional paralegal duties but also some of the tasks previously assigned to legal secretaries or other legal support workers.

Law firms also are attempting to reduce billing costs as clients push for less expensive legal services. Due to their lower billing rates to clients, paralegals can be a less costly alternative to 律师在美国，他们承担着曾经由初级律师完成的各种各样的任务. This should cause an increase in demand for paralegals and legal assistants.

Although 法律 firms will continue to be the largest employers of paralegals, many large corporations are increasing their in-house legal departments to cut costs. 对很多公司来说, the high cost of outside counsel makes it more economical to have an in-house legal department. This will lead to an increase in the demand for legal workers in a variety of settings, 比如金融和保险公司, 咨询公司, 医疗保健提供者.

由于电子发现的兴起, formally trained paralegals with strong computer and database management skills should have the best job prospects."
