Learn More about UD PCS Virtual Info SessionsThe National Association of Legal Assistants traces the development of the paralegal career to the late 1960s, when law firms and individual practitioners were seeking to improve the efficient and cost-effective delivery of legal services. Assisting lawyers in this role, paralegals’ duties often include conducting legal research, preparing presentations, interviewing clients, drafting legal documents, and guiding law office administration. The first paralegal training programs were established in the early 1970s, and the University of Delaware was near the forefront with the introduction of its curriculum in 1978.

Complementing its long-running Paralegal Certificate program, the University of Delaware’s Division of Professional and Continuing Studies (UD PCS) offers the Advanced Paralegal Seminar Series.
