The AAS in Paralegal Studies prepares graduates to become paralegals and legal assistants. Paralegals are highly skilled paraprofessionals who work closely with attorneys, judges, prosecutors or public defenders. They聽work under the supervision of an attorney interviewing clients, investigating facts, drafting documents and researching the law. The paralegal professional enjoys a wide variety of assignments, projects and functions. Some paralegals specialize in certain areas such as civil litigation, real estate, corporate law or estate planning.
Paralegals can find positions in various organizations such as large corporations, insurance companies, private law firms, banks, district attorney offices, real estate agencies, title companies, courts and government agencies.
