Programs Offered at NYCI

Paralegal / Legal Assistant
Paralegals, also known as Legal Assistants, assist attorneys in the delivery of legal services. Through formal education, training and experience, paralegals have knowledge and expertise regarding the law and legal system which qualify them to perform legal work under the supervision of an attorney.

Paralegals may perform any function delegated by an attorney, including but not limited to:

Conduct client interviews and maintain general contact with the client
Locate and interview witnesses
Conduct investigations, statistical and documentary research
Conduct legal research
Draft legal documents, correspondence and pleadings
Summarize depositions, interrogatories and testimony
Attend closings, depositions, court or administrative hearings and trials with attorneys

Court Reporting
Simply put, Court Reporting (also known as Stenography) is the production of a word-for-word, transcript of the legal proceedings in a courtroom or a deposition. More specifically, the reporter listens and writes shorthand notes on a steno machine and then these notes are translated by computer software into English. The reporter then takes the rough transcript and edits and proofreads it before printing a final transcript. This final transcript then becomes part of the official record for the court and lawyers to use and reference during the trial. Court reporters can also freelance, work in Broadcast Captioning, Webcasting, and Communications Access Real Time reporting (CART), providing services to the deaf and hard of hearing.

At NYCI, we have excellent job placement results. Actually, most of our students have job offers before they even graduate from school!
