Legal Assistant

Legal assistants are essential administrative support staff who conduct legal research, draft documents, organize case files, communicate with clients, and help lawyers manage their workloads. Students learn the critical thinking and attention to detail to become a valuable asset at a law firm, corporate legal department or government agency to help resolve legal matters.

Students learn skills in:

• Technology and office skills such as used for research, timekeeping and billing
• Legal terminology and document composition for civil and criminal litigation, probate, real estate, corporate, and family law
