Describe the roles of the AAfPE and the ABA in paralegal education.?
What will be an ideal response?
TheAAfPE was formed in 1981 to promote high standards for paralegal education. Although most states do not require paralegals to meet minimum educational standards, many employers either require or prefer job candidates who have a certain level of education. The ABA sets educational standards for paralegal programs. Programs do not have to seek ABA approval; it is voluntary. ABA approval provides extra credibility to those schools that attain it. Programs that meet the ABA standards are referred to as ABA-approved programs. The ABA has approved approximately 250 programs in the United States.?
