What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NM

Hello, I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place. this was the closest I could find that would fit my question.

My question is:

If someone has a criminal background (convicted 16 years for racketeering and 2 counts of solicitation to commit great bodily harm) be able/allowed to become a licensed Paralegal?


Thank you in advance!

The biggest problem would be finding an employer willing to hire a criminal.
