The Legal Assistant diploma is a two-year laptop-based program designed to prepare students for the in-demand field of legal support services and the many employment opportunities available for legal assistants. Legal assistants are highly skilled administrators who work closely with lawyers on a wide variety of legal matters. Students will receive extensive training in oral and written communications, transcription, keyboarding, computer applications with a focus on legal document preparation, a variety of specialized legal software, and law office procedures. In addition, students take substantive law courses in many areas of law, including: corporate, criminal, family, litigation, real estate, and wills and estates. Faculty bring extensive experience as lawyers and legal assistants and offer students a highly practical and technologically-enriched learning experience. The capstone course is a law office simulation which integrates all of the legal administrative and substantive law courses. At the end of the second year, students complete a four-week unpaid practicum in a law office or similar legal environment to gain valuable industry experience.
