PARALEGAL TECHNOLOGY

Welcome!

Paralegals are legal professionals who play an important role in law firms and legal settings. Paralegals work with lawyers to conduct a variety of essential functions, such as performing legal research, drafting legal documents, maintaining professional communication with clients, and assisting in legal proceedings. Paralegals serve as a lawyer’s “right hand,” keeping individual cases and entire legal practices running smoothly. This field is a great fit for students who are interested in the law, skilled communicators, detail-oriented, able to juggle multiple tasks at once, and who feel passionately about helping others.
