Meet the Typical Emory Paralegal Student…

Students drawn to Emory’s Paralegal Certificate Program are responsible, motivated and savvy consumers.  They come to our program expecting a valuable educational experience from a reputable institution, delivered by experts from the legal field, to launch a new career path or increase their leverage within their current work environment. Some are changing careers, while others are seeking a better work-life balance, evaluating their law school aspirations or otherwise responding to rapidly changing workforce dynamics. Each of them understands the level of personal commitment necessary to succeed in our program and within the greater legal community.

Our graduates have found the paralegal field satisfying, lucrative and replete with opportunity for growth.  Metropolitan Atlanta is a burgeoning legal hub – impacting organizations as ‘local’ as the City of Atlanta government and as ‘global’ as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, The Centers for Disease Control and CARE.  Emory’s Paralegal Certificate Program prepares our students to synthesize their experience, knowledge and newly acquired practical paralegal skills to confidently take charge of their career paths.
