Blinn Paralegal Program to host online information sessions

Evening and online classes provide flexibility for working professionals

December 7, 2023

The Blinn College District Paralegal and Legal Studies Program will host two information sessions for students interested in playing an integral role in the justice system.

The online information sessions will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 20, and at noon Friday, Dec. 22, on Zoom.

Blinn’s Paralegal and Legal Studies Program prepares students for a wide range of legal careers, and graduates have gone on to pursue successful careers as paralegals, legal assistants, and legal support staff in a variety of settings, including law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies. Many also have pursued law school or pursued degrees in related fields.

With traditional classroom and online tracks available, Blinn students can earn their Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree or a Legal Office Certificate. Courses are taught by faculty comprised entirely of lawyers and judges whose classes are structured to promote quality student-faculty interaction. Students completing the AAS degree are eligible to sit for the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) certification exam.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, legal assistants earn a median salary of $59,200 per year.
