Vatterott College
Legal Assistant - Diploma
Paralegal - Associate Degree
Do you love anything and everything related to the field of law? Do you want to gain the skills needed to begin a legal career? Vatterott College can help you with two different legal programs. You can choose to earn a Legal Assistant Diploma or take your skills a step further and obtain a Paralegal Degree. Either way, you will be prepared to work anywhere, right from a small practice to a large legal department.
Both program options can help you develop computer and office skills. You will learn to create legal documents, interact with clients, and effectively manage your time. You then obtain an overview of the legal system and legal terminology. You will learn about laws as they relate to business, specifically at the federal and state level. You will also become familiar with family, estate, bankruptcy, and employment laws. This can allow you to assist a lawyer with anything he or she may need, including trial preparation.
The Paralegal program builds off these skills and teaches you specific paralegal procedures. This includes how to conduct interviews, investigations, and analysis. You will also take a more detailed look at legal writing and trial preparation. In addition, you can expand your knowledge of real estate and entertainment law. You will finish off with a 320-hour externship where you get to work within an actual law practice. Both the Legal Assistant and Paralegal programs prepare you to assist attorneys; the difference is that Paralegals usually assume additional responsibilities. You can pick the option that works for you!
