In Uncategorized on October 1, 2010 at 4:33 am

In this program, students will learn how to become competent paralegals. They will be taught the skills that will help prepare them for entry into the paralegal profession in law firms or like organizations. The 24 week co-op/internship experience will familiarize students with the practice and procedure of law firms and like organizations, administrative aspects of paralegal work and related services.

Adding to these skills, on successfully completing this program, students should be able to, among other things, demonstrate with a reasonable degree of efficiency:
