The Paralegal Certificate Course© curriculum is offered online
|
University of Southern Indiana will offer the Paralegal Certificate Course© curriculum online throughout 2005. This challenging curriculum has been offered nationwide since 1980, and is consistently modified to keep up with relevant changes in Indiana and federal law. You can participate in the University of Southern Indiana Paralegal Certificate Course© beginning May 2, 2005. Successful graduates will receive their certificate from the University of Southern Indiana. The program is offered through Extended Services. Information is available from The Center for Legal Studies at 1-800-522-7737, or at www.legalstudies.com. Due to the increasing number of case filings and expanding client demands, paralegals are performing more challenging duties and are assuming greater responsibilities in law firms. Paralegals have become virtually indispensable in the cost-effective delivery of legal services. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the number of paralegal positions will increase 62 percent by 2008, making it the sixth fastest-growing occupation in the country. Currently, the national average salary for paralegals is $37,950. The average salary for an entry-level paralegal in the Evansville area is about $36,778. The program is taught and monitored by legal professionals including Daire Irwin, Esq., Peggy Kirk, C.L.A., and Ben Gialloreto, Esq., and includes 84 hours of intensive curriculum, WESTLAW training, and a voluntary internship program for top graduates. Students prepare homework assignments, and take regularly scheduled quizzes. Online participants interact with other students through an online discussion board, and assignments and exams are e-mailed to your attorney/instructor for critique and grading. Students can access the course from the comfort of their own home or office, at their convenience. Course tuition is $989. Call The Center for Legal Studies at 1-800-522-7737 to register or obtain more information regarding this course or our other challenging legal courses. |
