[QUOTE="KyleWren, post: 117777, member: 20041"] I recently attended a law fair at my University and representatives from a national law firm explained that they were introducing a new "innovative" role - 'Assistant Paralegal'. It had been explained to me that this role will be introduced exclusively to graduate students and will NOT be offered as a part-time role to allow students to obtain legal expertise alongside studying. I believe that entry to the profession is already being lengthened in terms of expected experience and academic qualifications. I asked the law-firm's representative whether she believed that this role would act to delay entry to the legal profession - to which she replied "yes, but I think that is a good thing", perhaps not correctly understanding my question. In your opinion, how do you feel about the potential that more law firms move towards introducing the role of 'Assistant Paralegal' as an exclusively graduate role? [/QUOTE]
