Legal Administrative Assistant Info Session

Coquitlam, BC – February 10, 2015 – The legal industry is challenging, intense, and definitely rewarding. Lorleen Langhorn, a graduate and valedictorian of Vancouver Career College’s Legal Administrative Assistant program, can vouch for that.

As a full-time student who was working part-time in a legal office, Langhorn made it work because of her committed personality, a passion for justice, and the support and feedback she received from instructors. “School was not easy by any means,” she said. “I leave with the greatest feeling of accomplishment and pride.” Langhorn hopes that her experience at Vancouver Career College and Yearwood & Company – where she completed her practicum and is currently employed – will be the beginning of a new path that will eventually lead to law school.

As many can imagine, working in a legal environment is not simply another day in the office. Working with several multi-deadline cases can seem hectic and stressful but “you have to remember these files are people’s lives” and “they are of the upmost importance to the people they are impacting.”

When it comes to the legal industry, any mistake can not only cost you but your clients as well, which is why acquiring a distinguished education is pertinent to entering this field. From family to criminal law and general legal office procedures to litigation procedures, Vancouver Career College’s Legal Administrative Assistant program covers it all. Through a combination of classroom learning and on-the-job training, the diploma program helps students build a solid foundation in the fundamentals of law as well as provide opportunities to enhance their skills through practicum placements.

Join us on February 12, 2015 from 5:30-7pm at the Coquitlam campus for an info session on how you can start your path to a new career in the legal industry.
