To gain an understanding and a familiarity with the use and methods of Civil Procedure which are commonly used by paralegals in the law office setting. The primary objective of theses courses are to find practical application of the above procedures and to apply these lesson to practical use working in a law office. Our approach will be toward emphasis on common tasks that will provide practical understanding and experience. Student comprehension is the main element that I am looking to be demonstrated in the writing assignments. I am not concerned about the format of the written assignment.
Students can do their work on a computer or by hand.
Assignments will be accepted that are typed or done in pencil, pen or in crayon, as long as some thought has gone into the concepts behind the assignment. I will usually go over the completed assignment in class. Late assignments are accepted up to the last day of class. Because I am not strict in the date when you must turn in your work, do not ask for any extension to this time. A grading point will be deducted for each missing assignment, up to a total of four missing assignments.
