PARALEGAL CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

Ohio University, in partnership with the Center for Legal Studies, features a Paralegal Certificate Course in a print-based format. The print-based format requires only the printed lesson material that we send you and your textbooks.

• Students mail assignments and take-home exams.
• Review the material as many times as necessary for full retention of the information.
• Questions can be directed to the instructor via a toll-free number or mail.
• Students have a maximum of 6 months to complete Paralegal I and 6 months to complete Paralegal II (12 months total).
• The instructor of the print-based format is Scott Hatch, J.D., founder of The Center for Legal Studies, who has been offering law programs nationally since 1980.
• To receive your Paralegal Certificate, students must enroll in, and successfully complete, both Paralegal I and Paralegal II. Paralegal I is a prerequisite for Paralegal II. 80% is the minimum passing score on all tests and assignments for this course.
