DescriptionParalegals work very closely with lawyers, organizing their own time and that of the lawyers', attending to crucial details, completing (in some cases, even drafting) documents, and more. In this program you will develop and hone the skills and procedures private law firms look for in one of these indispensable professionals. Even more importantly, you will acquire a solid grounding in the legal theory behind each of those procedures. If you enjoy learning about law, understand the necessity of precise language, have above average reading and writing skills, and are a detail-oriented person, you will succeed in this program and graduate ready to take a position as a legal assistant, paralegal, or law clerk.

Employment opportunities have been plentiful for our graduates. A survey shows that 80% of them have found satisfying careers in the legal industry. Upon graduation, you’ll be qualified to accept an entry-level position in a private law firm, corporate legal department, justice centre, government department, community legal services office, financial institution, or insurance agency.
