Paralegal Studies - Summer Intensive
Overview
Our unique, six-week Summer Intensive Program will be offered each May through the month of June. Designed with the recent college graduate in mind, this daytime program will allow students to complete four months of study in six weeks of full-time, focused training. Students will attend classes during the day from Monday to Friday, and including one Saturday seminar. The Summer Intensive program is the quickest way to earn a highly respected certificate and enter the job market as a skilled professional.
About the Certificate
Our curriculum is comprehensive. When students finish our program they are ready to go to work. Our curriculum covers topics rarely covered in other paralegal programs and doesn't waste time on filler. The skill-based format of the Duke Paralegal Program provides students with practical, hands-on training in preparation for the workplace. Each student finishes the program with a client file filled with documents about his or her case - all drafted over the course of the program. This client file serves as a showpiece for interviews and provides students with an end product that represents the skills they have acquired through the program. The curriculum includes a core skills class and multiple substantive law classes, which are all taught by licensed attorneys with teaching experience.
