Always Waiting for You
Choose the personal injury training path that matches your goals. Build practical PI experience through real case-based training designed to help close the gap between learning and getting hired.
Workforce funding and veteran funding are available for qualified participants.
Is This for You?
You Don't Need a Law Degree.
You Need the Right Training.
Career Changers
You're ready to leave your current field and build something with real earning potential and long-term stability. PI paralegal work is recession-resistant and in demand.
Legal Secretaries & Assistants
You're already in a law firm environment. You see what paralegals do. You know you're ready โ you just need the PI-specific training to make the move official.
Paralegals in Other Practice Areas
Family law, criminal, corporate โ you have the foundation. PI is different, it pays differently, and it has a skills gap you can step into with the right training.
People Who've Tried General Programs
You got a certificate. It didn't open the doors you expected. That's because general programs don't teach PI. This one does โ and only this one.

The Simulation
The Johnson Case
Most paralegal programs give you concepts. We give you a case. The Johnson Case is a fully simulated personal injury matter that you'll work from the moment the client calls to the moment the demand goes out. By the time you finish, you've done the job โ not just studied it.
This is the difference between candidates who freeze in interviews and candidates who can walk an attorney through their work on day one.

Your Instructor
Jack Walker โ 40 Years in the Room
I didn't build this program from a textbook. I built it from 40 years of sitting at the paralegal desk on real PI cases โ medical records, demand packages, depositions, liability investigations. I know what law firms need because I've been doing it.
The DOL-approved apprenticeship program, the TWC vendor status, and the practical personal injury curriculum exist because I took what I knew from decades inside the work and built the infrastructure around it.
If you are serious about PI paralegal work, choose the path that matches your goals and step into the training with purpose.
Common Questions
Before You Enroll
Do I need a paralegal certificate to enroll?
No. This program is designed for people at all experience levels โ career changers, legal secretaries, and existing paralegals moving into PI. What you need is commitment, not prior credentials.
Is this live instruction or pre-recorded?
Live. The cohort meets together with Jack as the instructor. Pre-recorded content supplements the live sessions, but this is not a course you watch alone on your own schedule.
How much time per week does this require?
Plan for approximately 8โ12 hours per week โ live sessions plus assignments and case work. This is a serious program designed to produce job-ready graduates, not a passive certificate.
Do I have to take Pre-Litigation before Litigation?
No. Each track is a separate entry point. If you know you want to focus on litigation, you can choose the Litigation Professional Track directly. If you want to focus on intake, claims, records, demands, and settlement workflow, choose Pre-Litigation.
Is there funding available?
Workforce funding and veteran funding are available for qualified participants. Eligibility depends on the applicable funding source. Contact Walker Legal Resources directly and we will help you understand the right intake process.
What happens after the cohort ends?
You receive your Walker Legal Resources certification and career positioning support designed to help you communicate practical PI experience to prospective employers.
