| Subject Descritption: - Paralegal Studies |
| |
| Rationale: The American Bar Association's Standing Committee has changed its name from "Standing Committee on Legal Assistants" to "Standing Committee on Paralegals.” Additionally, most of the national organizations have changed their primary designation to include "paralegal" either instead of, or in addition to, "legal assistant." The preferred and most commonly used term within the local legal community is "paralegal" and all of the proprietary schools in Maricopa County refer to themselves as "Paralegal" programs. Therefore, the Phoenix College Advisory Committee for the Legal Assisting curriculum has been renamed to the Paralegal Studies Advisory Committee and the recommendation to have the prefix definition changed from "Legal Assisting" to Paralegal was approved at the December 9, 2004, advisory committee meeting. This name change does not affect any of the "Description of the Content Area that will be taught," "the Department/Division responsible for this prefix/subject," the Instructional Council responsible, or the hiring qualifications of the instructors. |

| Content Description: No change. The curriculum provides students with practical legal skills enabling them to draft legal documents with minimum supervision. Students also are familiarized with fundamental concepts of substantive areas such as torts and business law. In addition, emphasis is placed on the development of effective written and oral communication skills, team work, critical thinking skills, computer proficiency, and legal research techniques. Legal theory and related practical applications are integrated throughout the program. Students also learn how to manage practical ethical dilemmas commonly encountered as working paralegals, including learning how to avoid the unauthorized practice of law by non-lawyers. The Paralegal Studies Program is approved by the American Bar Association (ABA) (750 N. Lakeshore, Chicago, Illinois 60611). |
