Entry Level Civil Litigation Paralegal Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level civil litigation paralegal job?
Start by gaining hands-on exposure through internships, law school clinics, or volunteer work at a legal aid organization, since most firms hiring at the entry level care more about practical experience than credentials alone. A paralegal certificate from an ABA-approved program strengthens your application, and familiarity with document management software, e-filing systems, and legal research tools like Westlaw or LexisNexis gives junior candidates a clear edge.
Which companies hire entry level civil litigation paralegals?
Companies hiring entry level civil litigation paralegals right now include Epic, Jobot, and Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At the entry level, hiring tends to come from plaintiff and defense law firms, corporate legal departments, and insurance carriers that maintain in-house litigation teams.
Are there remote entry level civil litigation paralegal jobs?
Yes, though remote and hybrid availability is more limited at the entry level than for experienced candidates. About 25% of entry level civil litigation paralegal openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with on-site roles still making up the majority as firms prefer new hires to learn workflows and court procedures in person.
Are these new grad civil litigation paralegal jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles that welcome candidates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically states that it accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or clinic work toward the requirement, or explicitly welcomes a portfolio of coursework or writing samples in place of full-time paralegal history.
Which industries hire the most entry level civil litigation paralegals?
Entry Level civil litigation paralegal roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Staffing & Recruiting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors generate the highest volume of active litigation matters, which creates steady demand for entry level support staff to assist with discovery, pleadings, and case file management.
