    I wanted to get some information about being a paralegal and attending law school. I already have my paralegal certificate and experience working in various law firms. I am seriously interested in attending law school but I would like to know what my options are if I was to join the military as a paralegal and get accepted into law school how would I be able to do both. Can I attend classes at night or will I have to complete my comittment and put law school on hold. What are my options if I have already been accepted to law school ? What are my options if I am waiting to be accepted.

    Apply at any Law School, but most will not take you unless you have a bachelor degree. Sorry, that dont have night classes, for a JD. I went to Strayer University to recieve my BBA in Legal Studies. You can do that at night because, class is one night a week.
