Paralegals are becoming a cornerstone in law firms and offices. Paralegals are more involved with the tasks usually performed by lawyers. Law offices and legal departments are kept functioning smoothly by paralegals. Not only do paralegals assist lawyers with brief preparation, closings, meetings and research, but many are responsible for overseeing projects, supervising office employees and maintaining records. Strong written and communication skills are important for a paralegal to carry out daily tasks effectively.

The Paralegal Technology program at SPCC is designed to provide the knowledge and skills needed for entry level positions in paralegal careers.

Course work emphasizes:

- Legal Research & Writing
- Civil Litigation
- Legal Procedure
