Become a Qualified Paralegal

The Paralegal diploma program from Algonquin Careers College provides the hands-on training, practical experience and expert industry guidance it takes to pursue a rewarding legal career. The Paralegal profession in Ontario is a licensed profession and only individuals who have taken a program accredited by the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) like Algonquin Careers Academy are qualified to write the licensing exam.

This program is led by lawyers or licensed paralegal professionals with years of experience working in the field. As a student you’ll learn:

• Constitutional and Administrative Law
• Client Interviewing
• Legal Research
• Evidence
• Small Claims Court
• Provincial Offences
• Legal Writing
• Dispute Resolution and Mediation
• Legal Computer Applications
• Tribunals
• Immigration Law
• Landlord and Tenant Law

Plus, you’ll gain the computer, bookkeeping and small business management skills it takes to establish a legal services business of your own.

Career Opportunities

Paralegals may act independently in the representation of clients. Paralegals may represent clients in small claims matters; landlord/tenant matters; matters before all federal and provincial agencies, Boards and Commissions as well as tribunals such as the Landlord Tenant Board and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. They may also appear on summary conviction procedure criminal offences.

Paralegals may also find employment in a wide variety of workplaces, including:

• Government (Federal, Provincial, Municipal)
• Large Corporations
• Self-Employed Paralegal
• Law and Paralegal Firms
• Banks/Financial Institutions
• Insurance Companies
• Courts (Federal and Provincial)
• Legal Clinics
• Other Law-Related Occupations

Organized, detail-oriented individuals interested in law are well-suited to this profession. Completing professional paralegal training can be a great way to launch an interesting and rewarding legal career without spending years in law school.

I love Algonquin Careers Academy. I would recommend anyone to attend this college. You feel like family and the environment is so friendly and welcoming.
