Combining Mediation and Paralegal training gives you a powerful advantage in today’s job market.

Mediation is a structured process where a neutral third party helps people in conflict reach their own agreement through communication, negotiation, and problem-solving. This course provides essential skills, ethics, and real-world case studies, guiding students in conflict theory, negotiation techniques, and people skills like reflective listening, impartiality, and effective communication to resolve disputes peacefully.

The Paralegal Associate program introduces students to the paralegal profession, covering its history, career opportunities, ethics, and the structure of the legal workplace. Students gain a solid foundation in American law, legal research, litigation, criminal law, dispute resolution, and legal writing, preparing them for the responsibilities and challenges of today’s legal assistant role.
