PARA 110 — Contemporary Issues in Paralegal Studies
3 Lecture Hours, 3 Credits Prerequisites: PARA 101 Contemporary Issues in Paralegal Studies is designed to give in-depth knowledge and practical understanding of the paralegal’s role in the specified area of law. The course is designed to give students an opportunity to study areas of law that are currently expanding and/ or developing. The student will be expected to demonstrate substantive knowledge of the subject matter as well as professional competency in completing assignments typical to actual practice. Since the “contemporary issue” may change, students should consult the course- offering schedule each semester. Students may repeat the contemporary issues course as long as different issues are offered and as long as they do not exceed the maximum number of hours permitted. A maximum of six credit hours in contemporary issues may be applied toward degree program graduation or certificate completion requirements. Because contemporary issues courses may present transfer difficulties, students should check with their transfer institution’s transfer coordinator before enrolling.
