This intensive, nationally acclaimed program is designed for beginning as well as experienced legal workers.

There are no prerequisites. However, an associate in arts and sciences degree (two-year) or its equivalent is very helpful. Students are expected to complete a significant amount of homework for each weekend session.
This non-credit program helps students increase their office’s efficiency, productivity and billable hours. It also provides students with marketable job skills. Successful graduates (who pass six tests and complete five written assignments) are awarded a Binghamton University Certificate of Completion.
