OAK FOREST, IL–South Suburban College (SSC) is hosting open houses for Legal Studies Programs in December and January, including Paralegal/Legal Assistant and Court Reporting/Verbatim Technology concentrations.
The Paralegal/Legal Assistant Program at SSC prepares students to become highly trained paralegals and legal assistants. SSC has the only paralegal curriculum approved by the American Bar Association (ABA) in the Chicago Southland and Northwest Indiana region. In addition, 89% of the program graduates between August 2021 to March 2022 were working in the Legal Field within six months of graduation. The community is invited to learn about the benefits of the Associate of Applied Science degree and certificate tracks, as well as the opportunity to complete the paralegal program entirely online.
A virtual open house, highlighting the Paralegal/Legal Assistant Program, will be held on Monday, December 12, 2022 at 6 p.m. live via Zoom. Register in advance and access the link from ssc.edu/info.
