The university is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The paralegal program of Auburn University is approved by the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association. This course trains students to become legal assistants or paralegals. Legal Assistants are employed in law firms, courts, government agencies, public and private agencies, corporations, financial institutions, insurance companies, title companies and real estate offices. They perform a variety of tasks under the supervision of an attorney such as researching factual and legal issues, interviewing clients and witnesses, preparing pleadings, subpoenas, wills, contracts and other legal documents. This paralegal course teaches them how to do all this plus it also gives them skills in computer research, mathematics and English writing.
