University Diploma - Paralegal Studies

A two year university diploma in paralegal practice, covering legal research and writing, litigation procedure, contract and corporate law, legal drafting and law office practice.

University Diploma - Paralegal Studies prepares you to support lawyers rather than to practise law, and the distinction matters because Alberta regulates who may give legal advice.

University Diploma - Paralegal Studies is taught at MacEwan University in downtown Edmonton, Alberta. MacEwan is a public university, which matters here: at a PUBLIC institution the Canadian field of study requirement applies only to non degree credentials, and University Diploma - Paralegal Studies is a two year university diploma rather than a degree. Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility for University Diploma - Paralegal Studies therefore depends on the programme sitting in an eligible field when you apply, and that list is revised. Confirm it in writing before you pay a deposit. The study permit application for University Diploma - Paralegal Studies also requires an Alberta attestation letter.
