Legal Assistant or Paralegal: Course Overview
legal assistant or paralegal course overview
Blackstone Career Institute offers a Legal Assistant or Paralegal program for those interested in home study. Blackstone has an impeccable reputation and has provided legal training continuously since 1890, with the distinction of being one of the first distance education training schools.

Thousands of students later, we continue to improve our programs. Our latest endeavor offers an Online Student Center to all active Blackstone students. The Online Student Center allows you to select the course delivery method that best fits your educational preferences and your learning style.

It generally takes between eight months and two years to complete the Blackstone Legal Assistant or Paralegal program. Our program provides the required clock hours needed to sit for the Certified Legal Assistant (CLA) examination given by the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA).

Blackstone offers access to the LexisNexis ® Total Research System to all of our students at a special student rate. This includes an online tutorial, a 24-hour help line and a step-by-step LexisNexis ® learning guide.

Offering more than just legal and paralegal research, the LexisNexis ® Total Research System provides online access to state and federal case law; codes and statutes; court documents; over 3.5 billion public records (the most available anywhere online); business, legal, and regional news; expert commentary on the law; Shepard's® Citations Service; and so much more.
