Careers range from working in law firms to jobs with government, private business or social service agencies. Paralegals may not practice law or give legal advice. They work under an attorney's supervision.

Our program was planned and developed with the cooperation of the Washington State Bar Association to meet standards set by the American Bar Association.

Classes Offered Day, Evening and Online

The curriculum is designed to prepare you to enter the legal field for the first time or to enhance your professional skills for a new career.
