Paralegal Studies Program

Roosevelt University’s Paralegal Studies Program is one of the Midwest's oldest and largest paralegal training programs. Established in 1974, and first approved by the American Bar Association in 1976, the program has been preparing its graduates for exciting careers in the legal field for over thirty years.  The program enjoys an excellent reputation in the legal community and its faculty are practicing legal professionals.

The Paralegal Studies Program is offering its post-baccalaureate certificate program in a new format this fall. Courses will be offered in eight week sessions in which students will take one Saturday class and one online course - offering the maximum number of online courses permitted within American Bar Association Guidelines.
