Presentation

The creation of this program meets a growing need expressed by legal professionals (lawyers, notaries, bailiffs, solicitors, etc.) and company directors (corporate litigation departments, etc.), as well as by the public and para-public sectors (court registries, social services, social insurance, etc.).
The program enables students to enter the job market by training "operational" assistants right from the end of the curriculum, while leaving wide-open the possibility of completing this professional training pathway (validation of prior learning).
Designed and organized within the framework of close partnerships with the professional world, it offers students the opportunity to acquire the fundamentals of a professional activity and leads them to autonomy in the implementation of this activity.
