Graduate Certificate - Paralegal (PL511)

Humber’s Paralegal graduate certificate program prepares students for an exciting career in the legal field. They will gain skills in legal research, oral and written advocacy, critical thinking and problem solving through a case-based and problem-based learning environment. Students will develop their oral advocacy skills through active learning including presentations and mock trials.

Courses include tort and contract law, residential landlord and tenant law, employment law, small claims court, provincial offences and summary convictions, and administrative tribunal law and procedures. Studies in legal accounting, business planning, ethics and entrepreneurship help prepare students to set up and manage their own paralegal professional practice.

Students will complete the program on a full-time basis over three consecutive terms: September - August or January to December.
