Every paralegal must complete LPC’s application and eligibility review before receiving platform access. Admission is approval-based and not guaranteed, but the process is designed to be straightforward and transparent.
How Applications Are Reviewed
LPC reviews each application as a whole. We look at whether the application and résumé are complete and consistent, whether the applicant meets LPC’s location and eligibility requirements, and whether their background supports the kind of attorney-directed Matter work available on the platform.
Before granting access, LPC verifies the qualification the applicant relies on to meet the admission requirements.
Minimum Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must be based in the United States and meet at least one of the following:
- A paralegal certificate;
- A degree in paralegal studies; or
- At least one year of experience working in a law firm.
Only one of these three qualifications is required. Meeting a minimum qualification does not automatically guarantee admission. LPC considers the application as a whole before granting platform access.
Application Materials
A PDF résumé is required with every application.
If you are qualifying through experience, provide the relevant employment information LPC needs to verify your role and dates.
If you are qualifying through education, provide your paralegal certificate or degree in paralegal studies so LPC can verify it.
Applicants are responsible for making sure the information they submit is complete and accurate.
How Qualifications Are Verified
For applicants qualifying through experience, LPC verifies the relevant employer, role, and employment dates through an independently sourced employer contact, official employer communication, or other reliable documentation.
Employment checks require your permission. LPC will not contact a current employer without explicit permission.
For applicants qualifying through education, LPC confirms the paralegal degree or certificate through the issuing institution or another appropriate verification source and reviews the application and résumé for evidence of readiness for attorney-directed Matter work.
LPC also reviews submitted information for consistency across employment history, education, dates, and other application details.
If something cannot be confirmed, LPC may reach out for additional information before making a decision.
This review is limited to admission eligibility. It is not a general background check, an endorsement, or a guarantee of qualifications, work quality, or future performance.
Reasons an Application May Not Be Approved
An application may not be approved if the applicant:
- Is not based in the United States;
- Does not meet any of LPC’s three qualification options;
- Submits incomplete or internally inconsistent information;
- Provides false or misleading information; or
- Does not demonstrate sufficient readiness for attorney-directed Matter work or alignment with current platform requirements.
Admission may also depend on LPC’s current platform capacity and admission standards.
Reapplying After a Decision
If your circumstances have changed, contact LPC to ask about applying again. There is no self-service reapplication option; creating another account with the same email will not start a new review.
For example, an applicant may choose to reapply after gaining additional law-firm experience, completing a paralegal certificate or degree, or otherwise becoming eligible under LPC’s current admission requirements.
A prior denial does not guarantee or prevent future approval. Each new application is reviewed based on the information and circumstances presented at that time.
Corrections After a Decision
If you believe an admission decision was based on materially incorrect application information, you may use the contact form to let LPC know what needs to be corrected.
Contacting LPC does not guarantee reconsideration or approval.
