Online Basic Legal Training Program - Overview

• We use real lawyers as instructors.
• Our materials use and amplify the curriculum from NALS ... the National Association of Legal Professionals, and we prepare our students to take the NALS national certification test.
• Our course includes vignettes, practical experiences, and case studies to reinforce and amplify the material.
• Live contact with our instructors is built in to the program.
• Our materials are interesting and engaging.
• We include a hefty dose of written communications skill-building using the Gregg Reference Manual and its associated diagnostic tests and topic-area worksheets. The written communications part of our program is essentially a course within a course designed especially to help students pass Part I of the ALS Exam, Written Communications.
• Our course has helped numerous students pass the ALS Exam; our pass rate is excellent.

Our tuition includes the cost of the text, Basic Manual for the Lawyer's Assistant (BMLA), written by NALS. (Lawyer's assistant is a "new" term for legal secretary, though legal secretary is more commonly known.) The tuition also includes the Student Study Guide that complements the BMLA and includes the Gregg Reference Manual.

Our tuition also provides students access to Stetson's password-protected Blackboard^TM learning management system to see PowerPoint presentations for each lesson. On the site, there is also legal terminology, review questions, and relevant stories that reinforce each lesson. Chapter quizzes further measure student understanding of concepts and applications. Once chapter quizzes are taken, students get immediate feedback on their score and any areas they might have missed.

Regular contact with instructors is built into the program. Students are not sent into a course that is on autopilot -- instructors and Stetson program administrators take a personal interest in each student.

This course is for you if you are in a law office and want to expand your potential or if you are not currently in the field but want to have a career as a lawyer's assistant. Register now.
