Why Legal Assistant?
The Legal Assistant Program is designed to prepare individuals for employment as legal assistants in law firms, corporations, banks, insurance companies, and government agencies. The title “Legal Assistant” is often referred to as a “Paralegal.” The legal assistant, under the supervision of an attorney, provides a variety of services to lawyers and clients. These may include research,
investigation, interviewing clients or witnesses, preparing depositions, and drafting legal memoranda and briefs. The legal assistant can do any type of legal work that does not involve giving advice to clients or representing clients in court.

This is an expanding profession and, according to the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, one of the fastest growing
occupations in the country. The Legal Assistant Program is an evening program and will take the average student more than four
semesters to complete it.
