The paralegal field is one of the fastest-growing careers today. Opportunities exist not only in private law offices but also in banks, insurance agencies, real estate offices, government agencies, and courts.

The objective of our two-year program is to prepare the student for the many challenges of the legal office, from proper office procedures to the preparation of the many various legal documents used daily by attorneys. Special emphasis is placed on paralegal studies, particularly civil litigation, domestic relations, real estate transfer, corporate law, and estates and trusts.

Research skills are essential for a successful paralegal, and our program utilizes local law libraries and computer software to develop proper researching abilities for our students. Also included in this program is preparation for the New York State Notary Public examination.
