Program Overviews

The growing complexity of legal services has steadily increased the need for paralegals - individuals who are not lawyers, but who assist them by performing law-based work requiring knowledge of specific legal forms, concepts, procedures, and practices used in concrete legal situations. The paralegal does research, drafts and files memorandums and legal documents, interviews witnesses and clients, helps prepare for trial, and handles the paperwork for real estate and other business transactions. The Touro College Paralegal program grants a Certificate in Paralegal Studies that qualifies graduates to obtain work in industries such as law, insurance, real estate, banking, finance and government.

This 5-course, non-credit certificate program, offered in partnership with the Real Estate Academy, represents a new era in residential real estate professional development. The program provides key industry knowledge and advisory sales best practices enabling participants to acquire 21st century-based knowledge and skills in order to build a successful sales agent practice. Students who complete the program earn the title CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) and satisfy their New York State continuing education licensure requirement.
