I took it 6 years ago when I first decided on the career change and I didn’t pass. I’ve been thinking about doing it again, but really don’t think it will do anything for me in the long run other than knowing I have that designation. I feel like most firms just want a ABA approved certificate and I’m surprised how many attorneys don’t know what the difference between a certified paralegal and a paralegal with a certificate. Basically, I don’t think it will help me get paid more or really be recognized other than just me knowing I have it so that’s the struggle I’m having if it’s “worth it” or not. Curious to see other peoples responses on this.

Same thoughts as P1. I think most firms just want paras to have an ABA approved certificate.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does?

Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
