Paralegal/Law Program

Welcome to the TMCC paralegal/law department: the only American Bar Association approved program in Nevada. The Paralegal/Law program will prepare you for a career as a paralegal or for a position in which organizational and analytical skills as well as knowledge of the law and legal procedures are necessary. This department offers a wide variety of courses that enhance your professional development and create a new career path. Additionally, pre-law students are able to transfer 99 percent of the credits earned within the TMCC paralegal/law program toward a four-year degree at UNR/UNLV within the universities' criminal justice/pre-law programs.

Paralegals, or legal assistants, work under the supervision of an attorney or perform work for which an attorney is responsible. This program does not prepare you to practice law.

We offer Westlaw Online, an important research tool. As a student, you will have your own password that will enable you to do online legal research from home.
