Area of Emphasis: Paralegal Studies
This program has been approved by the American Bar Association.
Volunteer State is a member of the American Association
for Paralegal
Education. The College offers the program to prepare students
for
work in a legal environment as a paralegal/legal assistant,
as well as to
provide a general understanding of substantive and procedural
legal
principles for those planning to transfer to a four-year
institution and
possibly prepare to attend law school. Note that the American
Bar
Association defines a legal assistant or a paralegal as
"a person qualified
by education, training, or work experience who is employed
or retained
by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency,
or other
entity and who performs specifically delegated substantive
legal work
for which a lawyer is responsible."
Inasmuch as LAW courses are not universally transferable,
a
student who wishes to transfer from this program to a baccalaureate
program is responsible for information about transferability
of
course work to a four year institution. Further, this program
should be planned only with the assistance of the Paralegal
Studies faculty.
Entry and retention standards for this program include:
completion
of all developmental requirements, except mathematics, which
may be
taken concurrently with LAW courses; completion of ENGL
1010,
LAW 100, and LAW 101 with a final grade of "C"
or better as
requirement for enrollment in further law courses unless
otherwise
approved by Paralegal Studies faculty; completion of an
interview orattendance at a meeting with Paralegal Studies
Faculty; maintenance
of satisfactory progress with no grade below "C"
in any LAW course;
and following of the planned curriculum.
