It was the most convenient way for me to gain experience in the legal profession before deciding whether to enroll in law school. Thank you to all the instructors and staff at CALS. I would gladly recommend CALS to anyone I know who might be interested in becoming a paralegal.
This has been the best educational experience. The instructors and faculty at Center for Advanced Legal Studies have been so helpful and life-changing. It is bittersweet saying goodbye to such amazing instructors who truly care about their students' careers, knowledge, and future. Please continue to be great leaders and educators! Thank you so much.
My time at Center for Advanced Legal Studies has been nothing short of amazing. I feel comfortable going into the legal field knowing that I have been given the knowledge to succeed. Cheers to us, my fellow graduates. We did it!
I have had a great experience working with Center for Advanced Legal Studies to receive my Paralegal Certificate. It has been such an influx of knowledge, hard work, and growth. I will not stop here!
The best decision I made immediately upon moving to the United States of America was to study at Center for Advanced Legal Studies. In addition to learning about U.S. law from exceptional instructors and meeting fellow students with similar interests, it allowed me to resume my career in the legal field, after being an attorney for more than 10 years in my home country.
With my Paralegal Certificate, I was able to obtain a legal assistant position at a top law firm downtown. I am excited to begin my journey in the legal profession. As a wife and mother to seven kids, I never thought I would be where I am today. I am so grateful for the path I have chosen and look forward to success in the years to come. As Maya Angelou says, "You are stronger than you think, and you are not alone."
I recommend CALS to all those seeking an introduction to law. I will be completing my Associate Degree in Human Resources in May and my Bachelor's Degree in Project Management in December. Subsequently, I plan to study for the LSAT to attend law school in 2024.
My experience at Center for Advanced Legal Studies has made me feel confident entering the paralegal profession. Thank you to all the instructors who taught me throughout my program.
I was looking for a fresh start in a brand-new career and was able to change my life in a matter of months. Thanks to CALS, I am now gainfully employed by one of the largest national law firms.
Taking the Certificate course at Center for Advanced Legal Studies has landed me a job in the career field I've always dreamed of. The experience and knowledge I've gained will benefit me for a lifetime.
I want to thank Center for Advanced Legal Studies for its professionalism in presenting the paralegal course to me and my fellow classmates. The experience has been immensely educational and has put me in a position for the next phase in my life. Thank you and good luck to all my classmates from the graduating class of 2023.
I am so thankful I found Center for Advanced Legal Studies and the opportunity to take evening online classes to fit into my schedule as a full-time working mother. The CALS staff and faculty are the best; they want nothing but success for their students.
Taking classes online was not "easy." I am so proud of what I and my fellow colleagues have accomplished. The myriad of skills and lessons I have learned will undoubtedly help in anything I pursue in the future. Many thanks to everyone who helped me along the way and thank you CALS!
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."- Anatole France. Cheers to Center for Advanced Legal Studies for giving me the tools to Act, Dream, Plan, and Believe like a true legal professional!
I want to say thank you for this opportunity. Attending Center for Advanced Legal Studies was a great experience and a stepping-stone toward the future.
Enrolling at Center for Advanced Legal Studies during a very difficult time in my life has helped me in many ways. I am grateful for having instructors that always told us about the demands of the paralegal profession and the important role we play. I am happy to say that they were indeed right, and I am happy to say I have chosen the right career path.
As a wife and mom of 6, I am grateful I was given the privilege to advance my education. Thank you, CALS.
The instructors and admin staff have all been phenomenal. I enjoyed taking the web-based classes and being able to interact with both my peers and instructors. I can't imagine attending online classes any other way. I highly recommend CALS for any student at any stage of life.
My time at Center For Advanced Legal Studies has been nothing but amazing. In the short period of time here to become a paralegal, I have met the best instructors and classmates that I call my friends. I am excited about the next steps in my education and possibly becoming a lawyer.
