This issue of Discovery focuses attention on the areas of Intellectual Property and Employment Law. As always, we highlight graduates from our program, and give you information relevant to the paralegal profession.
Legal issues have a way of changing with the times.
As new technology is introduced, and as more products and services are made available, the field of Intellectual Property has become one of the fastest growing fields of law, according to a recent survey commissioned by The Affiliates, a national legal staffing company. The area of Employment law is the second largest area of growth, clearly outpacing other legal practice specialties. In order for DPI's graduates to remain competitive in the paralegal field, the enhanced curriculum will keep paralegals updated on changing issues and requirements in these fields of law. Intellectual Property will introduce students to the law and processes for establishing and protecting rights through patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights. Intellectual property protection has become critical for both individuals and companies.
