Students will start by learning how to communicate effectively, as they work their way through different areas of the law, with courses in legal research and writing, torts and contracts, criminal matters and motor vehicle offences. They will also learn about advocacy, alternative dispute resolution, and other areas of law within the Paralegal Scope of Practice.
The program includes an extensive 140-hour field training component to provide students the opportunity to gain practical hands-on experience in a legal environment. When students complete their studies, they will be prepared to apply for the provincial exam and seek licensing with the Law Society of Ontario (LSO).
As a licensed paralegal, students might choose to be self-employed and offer legal services directly to the public without the supervision of a lawyer, or they might choose to work for a law firm or government agency. Either way, they will be able to put their entrepreneurial mindset and knowledge towards providing access to justice.
