Offered exclusively online, Northern’s two-year Law Clerk program has built-in flexibility as you gear up for a career as a legal assistant in a law office, or government or industry legal department.
Focusing on real estate, wills, estates, and family law and litigation, you’ll learn how to conduct advanced legal research, navigate conflicts of interest, and interview clients to assess the truthfulness of a claim.
You’ll get up to speed on legal terminology, master law office management, and even get a crash course in civil and criminal litigation.
What’s more, you’ll also improve your written and verbal communication skills. And ultimately put it all to the test in a fieldwork placement in the working world.
This program has both a fall and a winter semester intake. The faculty members are lawyers and law office professionals.
The Law Clerk program provides flexibility for returning or mature learners by offering fall and winter intakes. Classes have a regular schedule and students can log into the live classroom from any personal location or Northern College campus.
Through this online web format, students can see the professor and have the option of sharing their image. The app sharing tool allows for PowerPoint slide presentations, images, documents and includes a virtual whiteboard. This virtual classroom also provides for chats, polling, verbal and written communication among students and professor. For additional flexibility and access, programs are recorded for student use and review.
Courses in the Law Clerk program are supported asynchronously through the college’s learning management system, Blackboard Learn. Course materials are uploaded online. Students can join discussion boards, share documents, and connect with the professor and other students.
