Paralegal Studies

The Paralegal Studies Course is comprised of 20 comprehensive lessons. Following this, you may take one of our Advanced Specialty Courses – in your choice of litigation, real estate law, corporations law, estates/wills/trusts or criminal law – at no addtional cost. The lessons are easy to follow, yet challenging and stimulating at the same time. Each lesson begins with a subject matter preview and objectives, an introductory note from your instructor and a vocabulary builder of new words and terms.

Next comes the reading assignment. Practice exercises help you check and review what you’ve learned. At the end of the lesson is an open-book exam, which you may take online.
