How does the education paralegals receive differ that of law students?
Question by Saria A: How does the education paralegals receive differ that of law students?
I’m in law school and asked a friend in a paralegal program this question. She said that the two were essentially the same.
I’m especially interested in hearing from lawyers who also had some training as paralegals, but anyone with knowledge in this area is welcome to chime in.

Although there is a lot of overlap, paralegal courses are a lot shorter and less intense than a law degree.
They will ultimately not be allowed to do some of the things regular lawyers do, eg. argue in court or sign legal documents.
They also usually get paid less.
