Legal Administrative Assistant

Legal Administrative Assistants are crucial members of a law office team. In fact, most lawyers consider them to be “the glue that holds a firm together.” The Legal Administrative Assistant program at Vancouver Career College combines general office administration training with specialized legal courses so students develop a broad understanding of the day-to-day practices of a law office.
As a student in the Legal Administrative Assistant program, you will learn about the Canadian courts system, legal rights, practices and procedures. You will also study criminal law, civil litigation, real estate and conveyance, wills, estates and more. In addition, you will gain hands-on experience through a five-week practicum in a law firm or legal department of a large corporation.
When you graduate from this program, you will be eligible for positions in a variety of legal settings such as law offices, firms and legal departments of large corporations. Opportunities also exist in the court system, government offices and real estate firms.
