Paralegal Field Placement

Paralegal Graduate Certificate students will complete a part time field placement component in a work setting. In special circumstances and only with the approval of the field placement Coordinator, a different time frame might also be possible. A student's work experience and the scheduling of field placement will reflect the employer's needs. The students are evaluated by employers on completion of the placement. Students will also be given the opportunity to evaluate their field placement. This course provides students with an opportunity to apply academic skills and knowledge in a workplace environment rather than inside the classroom. While on placement, students will have an opportunity to work with professionals and gain experience. This experience will impact on the students' understanding of the demands of the business world and will serve to reinforce the importance of professional conduct and excellence.
