This certificate (formerly called the Paralegal Education Certificate) is designed to provide students with an understanding of general principles of law, and provide practical training in legal subjects and advocacy.
Admission Requirement
Note: Students completing both the part-time Legal Studies Certificate and the Court and Tribunal Agent Certificate can transfer the credits to the full-time Paralegal Education diploma program. Students should refer to the full-time curriculum for communication and general education requirements. The Court and Tribunal Agent Certificate does not, by itself, qualify a student to apply for licensing with the Law Society of Upper Canada. To practice as a paralegal in Ontario the minimum education requirement is a two-year Paralegal Education diploma. Refer to www.lsuc.on.ca. Curriculum changes may be made as a result of any legislation regarding the education of paralegals in Ontario. As well, online courses have not been accredited by the Law Society of Upper Canada.
