In this course, students participate in a field experience equivalent to 3-months full-time work in a paralegal setting. The field experience includes work assignments (tasks) appropriate for an entry-level paralegal designed to encourage personal accountability, problem solving, and the application of high ethical standards under the supervision of a lawyer or senior paralegal.
Students participate in monthly instructional seminars, and online learning activities involving resume and cover-letter prep, goal setting, written descriptive reflection on work activities, code of conduct, problem solving situations, code of ethics, and building a professional portfolio.
