A certificate in Paralegal is designed to comprehensively cover theory and applications of procedures used in law offices by paralegals, enabling graduates to assist attorneys in areas such as research, reporting, and preparation of legal documents, agreements, exhibits, and other relevant tasks prior to trial. Post-graduate employment will primarily target private law offices, but placement opportunities also exist in bank trust departments, insurance companies and government at basic entry-levels. The Certificate covers the most fundamental qualification to dispense legal assistance for legal departments or under the supervision of a licensed attorney.
