Paralegal Studies

While paralegals don’t provide legal advice or represent clients in court, they play a significant role in legal proceedings and generally excel at communication, organization, and research. Our program can prepare you for entry-level employment in law offices or legal divisions of government agencies.

Students at any Maricopa Community College may need to complete courses at more than one of our colleges.
