Program Overview
Humber’s Bachelor of Paralegal Studies program is the only four-year degree program to receive accreditation by The Law Society of Ontario as an accredited paralegal education program. This program combines legal theory with practical applications in courses covering ethics and professional responsibility, negotiation and mediation, evidence, advocacy, tort law, contract law, insurance law, and employment law. Students are provided with the legal foundation needed to consider a career as a licensed paralegal.
We believe that properly representing a client includes understanding the client’s background and motivation. As a result, our program has eight electives which provide students with the opportunity to study social science, humanities and science electives.
Learning Outcomes
- Upon successful completion of the program, a graduate will:
- Explain the relationship between a wide range of legal concepts, values, principles, and rules of law related to paralegal practice within the Canadian legal system.
- Outline relevant philosophical, historical, political, social, cultural, economic, and ethical contexts in which law operates.
- Define legal terminology accurately and give appropriate, current examples of their use.
- Research relevant information from a wide range of professional texts and legal data bases using sophisticated search methods and standard techniques of legal interpretation.
- Use of methods of negotiation and advocacy in order to advance a client’s legal position in a contentious context.
- Solve complex legal problems through selection of appropriate legal remedies for substantive issues and the related legal and procedural issues.
- Develop a cogent legal argument based on an organized body of relevant facts verified through corroborating sources.
- Present legal issues and solutions in client-centered plain language.
- Summarize the issues and arguments in a range of complex law cases.
- Write a range of polished documents used in paralegal practice with accuracy, clarity, conciseness and organization.
- Evaluate issues to determine whether a case falls within the paralegal scope of practice and where appropriate, seek support and/or refer the case to a lawyer.
- Contribute effectively and professionally in a team environment to complete required tasks within set deadlines.
- Take initiative to expand personal and professional competence in order to make on-going improvements in meeting client needs.
Work Placement
- Work placements offer on-the-job experience where you will use and sharpen the skills you’ve learned in class and apply them to real-world situations.
- The work placement is from May to August after Semester 6 and lasts 14 weeks/420 hours. You will work with your placement advisor to find a placement that fits your career goals. We provide placement support, such as working with the legal community, to identify work placement employment opportunities.
