Paralegal Studies
Paralegal Studies student Rachel Young received the William R. Marshall Jr. Memorial Book Award during SPCS Night 2021, the school’s annual graduation awards ceremony. Pictured are Young’s award plaque and book.
Law offices and courts don’t function without knowledgeable, trained paralegals and clerks.
The paralegal profession (also known as legal assistant) is dynamic and growing. The efficient law office of today is incomplete without the prudent use of paralegals, working under the supervision of lawyers. As a key fixture in the legal services landscape of the 21st Century, paralegals can generate profitability to law firms, lower bills for clients and contribute toward cost-effective management of law firms.
