Focused on Practical Knowledge, Not Just the Practice of Law.

Opportunities for job seekers with legal training-such as paralegals and legal assistants-are increasing at a faster rate than most other occupations.**  And those job opportunities extend beyond traditional private law offices. Corporate legal departments, insurance companies, real estate and title insurance firms, and banks are reducing costs by hiring employees with legal training to manage employee benefits, prepare and file financial reports and tax returns, conduct research, and perform other tasks previously performed by lawyers.
