Prepare yourself for the challenging work of a paralegal with the Associate of Science Degree in Paralegal Studies (A Sc PALS).
The demand for capable paralegals is growing rapidly in the Caribbean and the wider world.
Paralegals are required to perform many tasks formerly carried out by lawyers as well as to carry out the office procedures necessary for the efficient running of law offices.

The programme provides an overall understanding of the Commonwealth Caribbean legal system.
The delivery of each course ensures that it is relevant to the country in which it is offered to give the student a working knowledge of that jurisdiction while providing breadth to enable them to move to another jurisdiction and function effectively.
The programme instruction will be practice-oriented to ensure that paralegals have a good functional grasp of paralegal practices.
