When you earn UNLV's highly respected Paralegal Certificate, you will be well versed in the day-to-day responsibilities of a paralegal, plus you will understand the legal principles that govern our state and nation. Paralegal coursework is divided into two primary categories: Practicum and the Law. Practicum curriculum focuses on the skills most in demand in a Nevada paralegal: effective legal research, persuasive writing, law practice management, document formatting and structure, court filing, calendaring deadlines, and ethical representation. You will learn these skills and put them into practice by representing two hypothetical clients: a plaintiff and a defendant. Law curriculum covers substantive legal concepts you are most likely to encounter in paralegal practice: torts, contracts, criminal law, criminal procedure, civil procedure, family law, and estate planning/probate. UNLV paralegal graduates gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to successfully enter the profession. The registration fee includes the practicum textbooks and access to LexisNexis and Westlaw. Please estimate $250 for additional required textbooks that are not included in the registration fee. This is a hybrid course where you will be enrolled in a concurrent online learning program. Students are highly encouraged to enroll one week prior to the first day of class to avoid delays in receiving materials. No transfers allowed for this course.
