Individual courses may be taken or all five may be completed for
full certification. Classes may be taken in any order but the
following arrangement is recommended:

Students will access the lectures and study materials online and
flexible scheduling allows students to work at their own pace. The

educator and consultant for more than 20 years. He is the founder
and an instructor of Midwest Paralegal Studies and is dedicated to
offering flexible entry-level paralegal tutoring across the country.
