Paralegal Certificate & Paralegal Degree Courses

What is a Paralegal?

A paralegal is someone who assists lawyers with their legal work. The American Bar Association describes a Paralegal as "...a person qualified by education, training or work experience who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible."

As a paralegal, you will combine excellent critical thinking, researching, and writing skills to succeed in government, business, and law offices, and will be encouraged to ask questions and to analyze not just the substance of the law, but the reasons and policies underlying its development.

Paralegal Degree Program Highlights & Objectives

The Paralegal Degree program provides you with a solid foundation in the basics of law and an understanding of legal processes and procedures. You will learn how to use legal resources in order to assist in the preparation of legal pleadings, memoranda and documents. You will be able to conduct client and witness interviews, analyze and prepare legal documents, and perform other tasks to support attorneys or other businesses that utilize paralegals. An externship is required which introduces you to valuable workplace experience.

Your instructors will be genuinely caring professionals committed to providing a quality education and encouraging the growth of the whole person, and will foster your intellectual curiosity and development, as well as professional growth.
