It was a challenge in the beginning CALs really cares about students success. It was all worth it in the long run thank you CALs and staff.

CALS was a great course to learn and practice the many duties a paralegal has. The professors explain their courses well and work with you to make sure you understand the material and the assignments. Career service has been a great help for me in getting a job and improving in my portfolio. I definitely recommend CALS for anyone trying to become a paralegal.

I am very glad I chose to attend this school! I earned my paralegal certification and learned so many great things. We even built a tight knit community. Tami Riggs is also very helpful and reassuring with the job search. I graduated in late March and got a job in April! If you are thinking about becoming a paralegal I highly recommend CALS!

I finally chose to go back to school to do something I've always enjoyed: studying law. The CALS process was unique from start to finish; I obtained the knowledge and additional skills attending this school, which led me to get my Paralegal Certificate.

You will not regret attending CALS and furthering your education. I had an amazing time at CALS and I learned valuable information about the legal field. I received so much support from the career service and the administrative staff. Without CALS, I would still be struggling to find employment in the legal field. I owe a huge gratitude to Tami Riggs and Sarah Casey.
