Fantastic Faculty
Courses in the paralegal major are taught by a winning combination of dedicated Northern professors committed to student success and licensed attorneys. These attorneys talk the talk (helping you decipher all of that legal jargon); they also walk the walk (sharing lessons and advice based on practical experience). Who knows? That person teaching in the classroom may someday hire you as a professional colleague.
Tools of the Trade
Northern paralegal students become acquainted with the same computer-assisted research tools used extensively in law schools and firms such as Westlaw. They also learn electronic presentation software favored by attorneys. These tools enhance Northern’s nationally recognized high-tech learning environment, where all full-time students are issued notebook computers, along with a comprehensive software package and technical support.
