legal research and writing, real
estate, family law, wills, estates,
trusts, and commercial law. Required
courses also include subjects
such as English, mathematics,
and computer utilization.
Graduates are trained to assist
attorneys in probate work, investigations,
public records search, drafting
and filing legal documents, research,
and office management. Employment
opportunities are available in
private law firms, governmental
agencies, banks, insurance agencies,
and other business organizations.
