Paralegals may not provide legal services directly to the public, except as permitted by law. Georgia prohibits the practice of law by
non-lawyers.
More AAS Program Hours
This is not a contract binding the University to offer a given course at any given time. Arrangements concerning the scheduling of courses will be made
between the student and the advisor based on the information at hand. These arrangements will not be binding on the student or the University.
Required paralegal courses are offered once per year, and all elective paralegal courses are offered every other year. Given that students must
complete 30 hours of paralegal courses and the rotation of paralegal classes, students should expect to spend at least two academic years
earning their AAS degree.
