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.

“This is a profession, and paralegals are very well paid. We have a lot of work to do to begin changing the perception of paralegals and their vital work in our legal system.”

Cassandra Bain, Paralegal Technology diploma graduate

“Being a paralegal satisfies my lifelong desire to work in the legal field, but at the end of the day, when I leave the office, I don’t have to take it home with me. That’s something a lot of attorneys don’t get to do; they’re working around the clock. I still have that work-life balance that’s so important.”
