This program is designed for beginning as well as advanced legal workers. Students will be trained to assist trial attorneys, interview witnesses, investigate complex fact patterns, research the law, and assist in preparing courses for courtroom litigation. The instruction is practice-oriented and relates to those areas of the law in which legal assistants are most in demand.

Entry level Paralegal Certification is earned by passing the basic online certification course (CELW-014). Paralegals who have earned the basic certification are eligible to obtain HUCE's more advanced Paralegal Professional Certification by passing at least one elective course. Each elective provides in-depth coverage of a significant aspect of contemporary law. Students can also earn the Paralegal Professional Certification by taking just one course: our more extensive National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) preparation course (CELW-016).
