If you work full time as a paralegal then decide to make the jump to law school, can the expenses of those classes be deducted on your tax return?

It does not qualify for a deduction on the return, since it qualifies you for a new profession. Is it possible that the people you work for would be willing to reimburse you for the cost if/when you pass the test? that's what my company does.

No, they are to qualify you for a different job so are not deductible as a business expense. And unless the course goes a whole semester at an eligible institution, it isn't eligible for an education credit .
