Paralegals work with attorneys and the public to help solve legal problems. They conduct interviews and investigations, draft legal documents and help lawyers prepare for trials, negotiations and business meetings. Enroll in the Paralegal Studies Program at Skyline College for a rewarding and highly supportive academic experience that will help you develop the skills you need to excel as a legal professional. We offer a Certificate of Achievement which provides a head start on the road to employment and an Associate Degree for a clear path for transfer to a four-year institution. However, paralegals are prohibited from providing legal advice, representing a client in court, or engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. Paralegals work in all types of organizations including law offices, corporations, government agencies and other non-government organizations.
