Campus Launches ABA-Approved Paralegal Degree Focused on AI Integration

The curriculum spans eight quarters and covers essential legal pillars including criminal, corporate, and family law. Unlike traditional programs, this course requires students to engage with legal technology and AI tools starting in their first quarter. The training culminates in a Legal Ops & AI capstone, where students manage workflows within simulated client environments to ensure they can effectively vet AI outputs before submission to attorneys.

Melissa Brooks, director of legal studies at Campus, notes that while the core responsibilities of a paralegal remain unchanged, the rise of automation has increased the need for human judgment. Graduates will emerge with a professional portfolio and the qualifications to sit for both Westlaw Legal Research and Clio Certified Administrator exams. Designed for career changers and aspiring law students, the program utilizes a cohort-based model supported by faculty from institutions such as MIT and UCLA, backed by investors including Sam Altman and General Catalyst.
