School of Legal Studies
The law is an all-encompassing area, shaping our daily lives. CapU's School of Legal Studies equips students for careers in administrative and paralegal services at law firms and a range of other employers.
Why take legal studies at CapU?
Paralegals and legal administrative assistants are essential to the day-to-day running of law offices.
Paralegals work alongside lawyers to interview clients, draft legal documents, conduct legal research and assist with trial preparation. Legal administrative assistants provide essential clerical support to ensure law firms function efficiently.
At CapU, our instructors are a mix of practicing lawyers and legal experts who can provide the insight and training that only experienced legal professionals can deliver. And because they maintain close contact with the legal community, they cover the latest developments in the law and bring in top industry speakers.
CapU’s School of Legal Studies has been training legal professionals for over 40 years, and is an acknowledged leader in providing education services for paralegals and legal administrative assistants.
You’ll leave CapU with workplace-ready skills. Career options in the legal field are varied and interesting – ranging from law offices, government agencies and corporate legal departments to non-profit organizations.
