Find a job as a paralegal professional

Many aspects of legal work are performed by a paralegal or legal assistant under the supervision of an attorney. While they are not able to provide legal advice or set fees, paralegals are central to the workings of the field of law. Helping lawyers, paralegals prepare for closings, hearings, trials, and corporate meetings. Some responsibilities of this profession are investigation of facts and information relevant to cases; identification and research of applicable laws, decisions, legal articles, and other data that relates to a case; making written reports; conducting interviews with people that are connected to a case; organizing and tracking cases; and providing assistance to lawyers when they go to court. Found in various government offices, corporate legal departments and law firms, paralegals are one of the fastest growing professions in the United States.

The American Bar Association approved this two-year program which prepares you for an entry-level paralegal position in a variety of settings. Students pursuing associate degrees must take three legal specialty electives. These specialty courses cover a specific area of law, procedure, or the legal process and emphasize legal assistant skills, forms, documents, procedures, and legal principles and theories. Students may also elect to apply their associate degree toward earning their bachelor's degree in the field at Bay Path.
