Legal secretaries are in high demand. This means excellent employment opportunities for qualified and motivated graduates interested in pursuing a career as a legal secretary or legal administrative assistant. The Legal Secretary Certificate program is designed specifically to give interested students an introduction and overview of legal secretarial skills including effective legal writing, document processing, how to use up-to-date legal software and how to assist lawyers in litigation. Courses will also prepare students for jobs as a legal secretary or legal administrative assistant in a law firm, the judicial system and legal departments of organizations in both the profit and non-profit sectors. Not only will students understand the importance of a legal secretarial work -- in both an office and courtroom setting -- but they will also gain valuable skills they can take with them to any job.
