As the 21st century approaches, the practice of law is becoming more specialized, more regulated, and more costly. An integral part of the legal team is the paralegal. Paralegals are not attorneys, secretaries, or law clerks.
Paralegals are professionals skilled in the delivery of legal services.
Paralegals work under the direct supervision of attorneys and are subject to the same ethical standards as attorneys. This is accomplished by completing the appropriate Application for Admission. For more information concerning University Admissions procedures, call the Admissions Office of the Lakefront Campus at 280-6595. Financial aid is available to qualified applicants through the Financial Aid Office of the Lakefront Campus, 280-6603. The second requirement for admission into the Paralegal Studies Program is successful completion of the Program's Aptitude Examination.
