Legal Administrative Assistant (LAACC)

The Legal Administrative Assistant career certificate provides skill development for entry-level support positions in law and law-related fields through a combination of secretarial and basic legal knowledge. Key skills include technical skills, organizational skills, writing skills, and an understanding of the legal profession. LAACC graduates will be qualified to perform tasks including preparing memos, invoices, or other reports; editing documents; performing basic bookkeeping, and maintaining databases and filing systems.

Although students may use this career certificate as a pathway to further education in legal studies toward a certificate of achievement in law office administration, the Legal Administrative Assistant career certificate is NOT a program for the specific education of paralegals.
