Pursue a Career in One of the Fastest Growing Legal Professions
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the paralegal profession is projected to grow by 15 percent between 2016 and 2026, which will add over 41,000 positions. The Paralegal Certificate Program will prepare you for a career as a paralegal, giving you the skills you need to secure a position in the industry.
If you’re interested in law but don’t want to endure the lengthy process and expenses associated with becoming a lawyer, then becoming a paralegal might be the right option for you. Like lawyers, paralegals can specialize in certain types of law, such as criminal, corporate, immigration and family. The instruction is practice-oriented and relates to those areas of law in which paralegals are in high demand. Students will be trained to interview witnesses, investigate complex fact patterns, research the law, prepare legal documents, and assist in preparing cases for courtroom litigation.
