About the Programme

No law practice or legal department can operate effectively without paralegals and legal support staff. In recognition of the important support role they play, the Law Society of Singapore and Temasek Polytechnic have jointly developed a foundational certificate course on various aspects of Procedural and Substantive Law and Practice Management specifically designed for these stakeholders. This course has also been enhanced to cover more aspects of Law Practice and the Legal environment.

Each aspect of this Course, from its content to structure to duration, has been crafted based on the valuable feedback we have received from key users of paralegal services, including Managing Partners/Directors of law practices and Heads of Legal Departments. This ensures the unsurpassed quality and relevance of this Course.

Each module is conducted using a combination of lecturettes, case studies, and exercises, concluding with a simple written test. Participants who attend each module in full, pass the written test at the end of each module and complete the e-Learning programmes will be awarded a joint “e-Certificate of Completion” for the module by the Law Society of Singapore and Temasek Polytechnic.

The number of places is limited to 22 participants for each module to allow for optimal interaction. *No minimum entry requirement.

Participants are required to attend/complete all 7 modules (including e-Learning programmes) in order to qualify for the “e-Certificate of Completion”.
