Paralegal Technology
The Paralegal Technology program is a great avenue if you are considering the legal field as a career. As a Paralegal, you can have an impact on a case through research, investigation, and analysis of information. A Paralegal must know all the legal concepts, but not have the full expertise of an attorney. The Paralegal Technology program provides the knowledge and skills regarding the legal system and applicable and procedural law necessary to perform many routine legal processes under the supervision of a licensed attorney.
If you enjoy solving problems, are extremely organized, work well with little direction, and have a knack for multi-tasking, the Paralegal Technology program will be a challenging and rewarding career.
