The American Bar Association Approved Paralegal Studies Program at the IU School of Liberal Arts in Indianapolis is developed for the success of its students in the classroom and beyond. A strict focus on excellence in the study of law is achieved with the devotion of licensed attorneys in all classrooms. All of our experienced faculty members work at length to develop students’ understanding of legal concepts, structures, and practices. Opportunity is fully explored in small classes of driven students who are motivated to cultivate their analytical, collaborative, persuasive, and research abilities. Our objective is to prepare students for a prosperous legal career at the center of it all—Indianapolis.

Disclaimers:

• Paralegals must not engage in the unauthorized practice of law and must work under the supervision of a licensed attorney except as otherwise permitted by law.
• Students must take at least nine (9) semester hours of required paralegal specialty courses through synchronous instruction.
• Not all previous courses meet the required departmental guidelines. It is strongly recommended that transfer students meet with a Paralegal Studies Advisor in order to avoid conflicts and missing important courses, which may delay your graduation. Only up to four legal specialty courses will be accepted on transfer. The Director of Paralegal Studies reviews these transfer requests for adherence to our student learning outcomes and paralegal competencies.
