The GW Paralegal Studies programs prepare students to enter the increasingly competitive paralegal profession with confidence and acumen. Students engage in a rigorous, topical course of study that includes legal specialties in Government Law, Intellectual Property Law, and International Law, as well as a concentration in Health Care Corporate Compliance.

Courses balance theoretical, philosophical, and historical study of law with practical applications of communication, analysis, ethics, and legal technology skills. Outstanding lawyers teach courses designed in conjunction with the legal, government, business, financial, and international communities.
