Answer to Question 1
Certification refers to formal recognition by a professional group or state agency that a person has met certain standards of ability specified by that group. Generally, this means passing an examination given by the organization and meeting certain requirements with respect to education and/or experience. NALA, NFPA, NALS, AAPI, and some states offer paralegal certification programs.
Answer to Question 2
Substantive law includes all laws that define, describe, regulate, and create legal rights and obligations. For example, a law prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of age falls into the category of substantive law. Procedural law establishes the methods of enforcing the rights established by substantive law. Questions about what documents need to be filed to begin a lawsuit, when the documents should be filed, which court will hear the case, which witnesses will be called, and the like are all procedural law questions. In brief, substantive law defines our legal rights and obligations; procedural law specifies what methods, or procedures, must be employed to enforce those rights and obligations. A legal assistant studies both substantive law and procedural law.
