Chapter 1: Careers in the Legal Profession


“As a third-semester paralegal student, the idea of placement was overwhelming, and I wasn’t sure where to start. This book has taught me an endless amount of invaluable skills that helped me secure my dream placement. This book not only taught me how to land a placement opportunity, but has also given me the tools and competitive edge needed to succeed in the field of law.”

—Destiny Simpson, paralegal student at Fleming College
