Answer to Question 1
Some paralegal organizations require their members to complete a certain number of CLE hours per year as a condition of membership. Both NALA and NFPA require paralegals who are certified to take CLE courses every year in order to maintain their certification status. The NFPA requires certified paralegals to complete 12 hours of continuing education every two years. California requires a minimum number of CLE hours from all persons who work as paralegals. Additionally, many employers encourage their paralegals to take CLE courses and often pay some or all of the costs involved.
