Paralegal Schools in Oregon?


I was hoping to find out of some good Paralegal Training Schools in Oregon. I can't seem to find any ABA schoold in my state and i know that is the best route to go? I am not sure if it is because they are not as picky about that but if someone who is a Paralegal could let me know what might be the best route to go to get good training and it be an attractive school to potential employers once finished that would be great!Thanks!

There are a few online ABA certified Paralegal courses if you want to go that way.

- Kaplan University
- Penn Foster University

As far as looking for schools in Oregon that are accredited, did you check http://www.abanet.org/? That's the American Bar Association's website.

Check this link: http://www.abanet.org/legalservices/para...

that will show you all the accredited schools in a given state.

I see that there aren't any in Oregon, so your best bet might be to do something like Kaplan. That one is used widely by paralegals. We've hired several from there. It's a bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

Hope this helps!
