• This one year Ontario College Graduate Certificate program, offered in three semesters, prepares graduates to apply to the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) to become licensed paralegals. Paralegals are non-lawyers providing legal services in specified areas of practice to the public for a fee.
  • The type of work that a licensed paralegal can perform is governed by the LSUC, and this program is restricted to those areas of law. Students learn about case management and trial preparation in areas such as small claims court proceedings, provincial offenses, and summary conviction cases, as well as administrative tribunals.
