Earn Your Paralegal Studies Certificate of Completion with Our Help
Most paralegal programs operate like mini law schools: they teach law as if you will become a practicing attorney. No paralegal needs courses in oil and gas or constitutional law—classes designed to keep you in school for 2 years and collect more tuition from you.
The paralegal profession is completely different from the attorney’s, and it requires a different approach—the PSLSI difference:
- Our classrooms are designed like a law office work area.
- You are assigned a case on day one and learn through a hand's on experience under the guidance of experienced, licensed attorneys.
- Having our own internal legal clinic means you have actual cases to work on throughout the program.
- Your frequent interactions with various legal personnel provide networking opportunities for future employment.
- As a PSLSI graduate, you will easily perform paralegal work in most attorneys’ offices from day one because we immerse you in training specific to the paralegal.
Our 6-month program is affordable and allows you to continue your day job while earning the PSLSI Paralegal Studies Certificate of Completion.
