Bachelor of Legal Studies (Paralegal)

The Bachelor of Legal Studies is a new training option for paralegals provided at the Capilano University. It was approved by the Minister of Advanced Education and has been available since September 2010. It is the only paralegal degree in Western Canada and just the second such degree in all of Canada. Thus, it is a very specialized program. The degree option is open to high school graduates, unlike other Paralegal Diploma and Certificate options which require additional post-secondary training and work experience.
