What kind of criminal charges in your criminal background can keep you from becoming a paralegal?

Untrue I have a friend who is a court reporter and she has a background. She sent the state her criminal background with explanation and was approved by the state to work in the legal field. If the offense was a long time ago example 10 years ago and you've been clean since is a help. I've met lawyers who made mistakes in their youth but turned it all around. Never let anyone tell you something is out of reach for you. Of course you can't work at a daycare if you have a drug dealing charge. But always try and don't settle until you have an official answer from the STATE. Good Luck! In general, ANY FELONY conviction will rule you out for a career in any part of the justice system.
