Paralegal Studies

About

Overview Paralegal Studies at Texas State University is offered through the Department of Political Science and the Graduate College. We must comply with strict requirements regarding our curriculum, our faculty, and the type of student entering our program. The program consists of 24 graduate level hours and may be completed in two or more semesters.Key facts:A “paralegal” is a professional who is trained to handle certain law-related responsibilities as an integral member of a legal staff. A paralegal is not admitted to the practice of law in Texas but has, through education, training and experience, demonstrated knowledge of the legal system, legal principles and procedures and uses such knowledge in rendering paralegal assistance to an attorney in the representation of that attorney’s clients. I want to find another Master Course The functions of a paralegal are limited only to the extent that they are limited by law. The properly trained paralegal may, under the supervision of a lawyer, perform a variety of functions that include researching legal issues, drafting documents, managing complex files, developing legal practice systems, interviewing witnesses, conducting fact investigations, summarizing depositions, and assisting the attorney in and out of the courtroom.

Paralegal Studies at Texas State University is unique because we have one of the few professional certificate programs offered by a university at the graduate level.
