Paralegal Professional Program

Starting with the fall 2009 term, this course will be renumbered as PRL 1400.

This comprehensive certificate course reaches a basic understanding of the law, responsibilities, and duties of paralegal work. Practical workshop sessions and case study methods are used to teach the basics of probate, real estate, corporations, litigation, legal research, and legal ethics. Each subject area is taught by an attorney/paralegal team who are working professionals in their legal specialties. Attorneys teach the legal system and legal theory while paralegals focus on building skills that are applicable and relevant to paralegal work. The curriculum reflects the demands of a busy general law practice, and students who are considering law and paralegal work will receive instruction that will present the pace and atmosphere of a law office.

Prerequisite: Several years of legal experience.
