The Legal Administrative Assistant Certificate program provides training in traditional administrative skills as well as courses in legal procedures.
There are two program options: a full-time onsite option, and a part-time online option. The full-time onsite option is two terms long and there are two intakes, one in September and one in January.
The full-time onsite option offers in-class tutorials and hands-on training with software and books used in the legal industry. The part-time online option is six terms long (two years) and there is one intake in September. This program option offers the same training as the onsite option, but in an online format and with just two courses per term (not including the practicum in the final term).
You'll learn about civil and family litigation, wills and probate, corporate law, conveyancing and mortgaging from instructors with backgrounds in the legal industry.
You'll also gain real-world experience through a two-week practicum placement in a private law firm or government agency.
