Can a bankruptcy on my credit prohibit me from becoming a paralegal?
Question by RM: Can a bankruptcy on my credit prohibit me from becoming a paralegal?
Due to a failed business and mounting debt, my wife and I just filed for bankruptcy. After considering many career choices in a bad economy, I have decided to pursue a paralegal certificate at a local community college. I already have a master’s degree but my fear is that I won’t be able to find a paralegal job because of the bankruptcy. Any advice?

If you own a degree – or any other qualification – then you’ll already be in front of of the bunch when it comes to searching for careers. My pal has a degree and he wasn’t certain what direction to go with it, but he found some good tips and tricks on the site in the resource box below which aided him to decide that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is lots of guidance on the site regarding other careers.

Question by MaLynda P: I want to open a bankruptcy paralegal service from home?
I am a certified bankruptcy paralegal who has 10 years + experience. I want to open my own firm from home but know there are other forms I have to file with the petitions and are not sure where to find the information on line or in books. I am also not sure where I am suppose to sign as a document preparation when I file and would appreciate anyone’s help with links to paralegal help and books.

There are provisions for petition preparers (typists) being allowed to charge fees. I believe that the Court rules or Federal rules prohibit you from referring to your assistance as a paralegal service, since if you are doing anything other than typing the forms from instructions supplied by the debtors, you’ll be practicing law.
