Degree Title:
Paralegal (Legal Studies) Certificate
College:
Post University Online
Description:

The Paralegal certificate program at Post University prepares you to become a Paralegal. Paralegals (Legal Assistants) continue to be among the most sought after professionals. Second only to jobs in the computer industry, paralegal/legal assistant positions are the fastest-growing career category, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. As the practice of law becomes more sophisticated, specialized, and international, men and women with advanced education in this area will be in great demand.

Our program at Post University was designed with input from attorneys and employment projections so that our students learn skills to meet the challenges of the profession on an ongoing basis.

The terms legal assistant and paralegal are used interchangeably. The job involves legal research, preparation of legal documents, and, in some cases, interviewing clients. It also includes summarizing depositions, interrogatories, and testimony. A paralegal generally works under the direction of an attorney or, in a large firm, under a paralegal manager.

You will study in highly interactive, small classes in 8-week accelerated modules. Our faculty will actively engage you in a high quality and relevant curriculum that prepares you to enter a rewarding career in the legal field.

Post University graduates of the Certificate program will be qualified to fill responsible positions in:

  • banks
  • insurance companies
  • real estate companies
  • private law offices
  • corporate law offices
  • local, state, and federal government legal departments
