Bachelor of Science - Legal Studies - Language Integration
This major teaches students skills that paralegals use in a law office setting while developing intermediate Spanish language skills to communicate sufficiently with Spanish-speaking clients to facilitate attorney representation of these clients.
“[L]aw firms located in areas with large Spanish-speaking populations are seeking bilingual staff with experience in family-based and employment-based immigration law. These states and other regions with large Hispanic constituencies are also seeing an increase in bilingual legal jobs in the public sector. More and more local government entities are seeking to fill full-time law jobs with bilingual legal professionals.” Robert Half, “Foreign Language Skills See High Demand in Legal Market” (November 6, 2013).
This is the only paralegal program in the Midwest offering a blend of practical law office skills with language training.
