Paralegal Management

This program prepares the student to assist indigenous people in tribal court and other political arenas as an advocate. This is not a legal program and students do not earn a law degree. The Paralegal Management Program provides paralegals to perform a variety of tasks, such as creating resource files and scheduling appointments. This also includes essential legal knowledge and practical skills for careers in law firms, corporations, and government agencies. Topics included legal research, writing, case management, litigation procedures, and ethics. Graduates can pursue careers in law firms, corporations, or government agencies. This program provides a strong foundation in legal principles and practical application. Flexible learning options are available. Graduates may pursue paralegal roles or professional certification, such as the NALA Certified Paralegal (CP) exam.
