While lawyers assume ultimate responsibility for legal work, they often delegate many of their tasks to Legal Assistants/Paralegals. Legal Assistants/Paralegals continue to assume a growing range of tasks in the nation’s legal offices and perform many of the same tasks as lawyers. The Bachelor of Science degree in Legal Assistant/Paralegal prepares graduates, under the guidance of an attorney, to interview, gather, review and analyze factual situations; research, prepare and interpret legal documents; and conduct day-to-day operations in a legal office. Graduates may find employment in legal offices, state and federal government agencies, corporate legal departments, insurance companies and legal aid societies.
