Paralegals

The work of a Paralegal involves carrying out a range of legal work, and although they may not be fully-qualified solicitors, they can undertake most of the work of a solicitor.
The exact duties of a paralegal would vary depending on the particular employer or department, in which they work with, but would often involve:

Preparing legal documents
Research
Interviewing clients and witnesses
Attending court
Handling a caseload of clients
Giving legal information to clients
Typing, filing and other general clerical tasks.

Most of the work is office-based, with some travel to attend court or meetings.

Although there are no current rules regulating a the qualifications of a paralegal, however, potential employers may specify such a requirement.

Thus, the Diploma in Vocational Paralegal Studies will enables students to gain and to develop essential legal knowledge and specialist skills for such roles, within a chosen legal field.
