The Center for Advanced Legal Studies is an innovator in providing legal assistant programs that match the ever changing needs of the paralegal profession, the legal community, our society and your high standards.  The Center can take you where you want to be professionally.

The Associate of Applied Science Degree Program is a comprehensive approach to paralegal studies for students who hold a minimum of a high school diploma or its equivalent.  It provides a practical and intense study of a variety of areas of law and rounds out this experience through an offering of general education classes.   In our program, you concentrate on law classes rather than areas of general education.  Other associate degree programs do just the opposite.



The Paralegal Certificate Program is designed for students who have earned a bachelor's degree prior to application to the Center.  This program is streamlined to provide education in the most prevalent areas of law.  If you have your degree, it's time to take the steps necessary to begin your successful legal career.

Seminars and Selected Classes are available for those interested in obtaining additional legal knowledge.  You may already be a lawyer or paralegal needing to increase your skills in specific areas or someone simply seeking to understand the law in greater detail.  If. so, you may choose to attend one class at a time from the Center's curriculum or a seminar taught by experienced and highly rated instructors and speakers.
