+1 on the advice from Ontario (I never thought I'd say something nice about Ontario, but it's the guy not the province so I guess that's okay. Don't worry folks, just some inter-provincial canadian humour.)
Some of that advice is aimed more at long-term working in the office rather than just the interview, and I'd just add to that: once you work there, you will get a sense of what the office's dress-culture is like and can dress appropriately. (A "all my bosses wear XX, should I be wearing YY?" thread will be fine ... insert the words "polo shirts" and "3-piece suits" or "dress pants" and "jeans" as appropriate ...

Hate to say this, if you are applying for a paralegal position at a law firm, find the cash for a decent suit. I am partial towards a dark grey or navy all season wool, white dress shirt with a point or spread collar, and get a tie that exudes professionalism however I would avoid blue or red this election season. Oh don't forget to polish your shoes and wear a pair of decent socks that match the suit.
Those are also the colours for the Crips and Bloods ... so if your interview is in certain parts of LA ...
