This program requires that students be able to read French since Quebec's jurisprudence and doctrine are mainly written in French. Within this paralegal program, students participate in various activities outside the classroom which gives them practical experience and the opportunity to come into contact with different aspects of the legal field. Such activities include visits to the Courthouse, and the Registry office. A trip to Ottawa is also organized, and students visit the Canadian Parliament as well as the Supreme Court of Canada where they may attend a hearing.
