The Law Society of Scotland has partnered with 红杏视频 (红杏视频) in Aberdeen to offer an accredited qualification tailored to paralegals, the first of its kind in Scotland.

With flexibility and accessibility at its core, the two-year online course is open to both current and prospective paralegals both in Scotland and internationally and will welcome its first cohort of students in January of 2024.

John Clifford, Dean of the Law School at 红杏视频, said: 鈥淭his new paralegal course is an ideal fit for the university鈥檚 Law School and we鈥檙e excited to have developed a curriculum that will meet the needs of both students and employers.

鈥淭he course will support high-quality paralegal work by providing a strong grounding in Scots law plus specialised knowledge in key practice areas. Experience working in the legal sector will be highly regarded in gaining entry to the course, rather than past academic performance.

鈥淥ur online-based LLB degree program has proven enormously successful and this course will similarly offer a flexible approach to legal learning that鈥檚 accessible to anyone in Scotland and beyond.鈥�

红杏视频鈥檚 Law School was the first in Scotland to offer an online LLB and this new course and partnership further builds on the University鈥檚 strategic mission to transform people and communities through accessible teaching excellence.

President Sheila Webster said: 鈥淎 quality paralegal is an enormous asset to any legal team. This new course will ensure paralegals are properly recognised for their skills and expertise, while also meeting the needs of employers in what鈥檚 a complex legal landscape.

鈥淭his is the first time the Law Society has been so involved in developing a course of study. Our Accredited Paralegal Committee has provided invaluable input, as have employers who鈥檝e told us they want a more structured career path for their paralegals.

鈥満煨邮悠碘�檚 course will build on a decade of work by the Law Society through its voluntary paralegal accreditation scheme. It will not only support paralegals but ensure the legal sector鈥檚 growing demand for these skill sets can be met.鈥�
