What are Paralegal Studies?
Lawyers assume ultimate responsibility for legal work, but they often delegate many of their tasks to paralegals. In fact, paralegals--also called legal assistants--continue to assume a growing range of tasks in the nation's legal offices and perform many of the same tasks as lawyers.
This includes preparing for hearings and trials, drafting documents, and searching records. Nevertheless, they are still explicitly prohibited from carrying out duties that are considered to be the practice of law, such as setting legal fees, giving legal advice, establishing the attorney-client relationship and presenting cases in court.
The mission of the Paralegal Studies program is to prepare persons who will professionally and ethically aid the attorney in the practice of law. Under the supervision of the attorney, the paralegal will be able to perform substantive tasks that require knowledge of legal principles and procedures and can be carried out most efficiently with technical skill competence.
