ALL students above must submit a Paralegal or Legal Studies Portfolio before graduation.  These portfolios are a sampling of your mastery of basic skills expected of graduates.  You will NOT be eligible to receive your Degree or Certificate until we have your portfolio on file.  These portfolios serve as a sample of your academic work to share with prospective employers.  Portfolios also allow faculty to review samples of your work if they need to write a recommendation for you or if someone asks for a reference.  Submit the requirements to Karen Nelson, Assistant Director of the Paralegal Program in GLC 123W.  Portfolios may be submitted either in a 3-ring binder, on a CD-ROM, or electronically to Karen Nelson.  If you have any questions or concerns, please see a Legal Studies Faculty member or contact Karen Nelson at 651-523-2857. **Turn in a copy, because you will not be getting it back!**   For ALL students:    CASE SUMMARY/BRIEF    LEGAL MEMORANDUM OR PERSUASIVE PIECE    LAW RELATED PAPER    YOUR RESUME AT GRADUATION    LITIGATION PORTFOLIO CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION   For students who have taken Civil Litigation and Trial Practice Fall 2006 or later:    SUMMATION TRAINING CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION    POWER POINT PRESENTATION ASSIGNMENT SUBMITTED ON CD-ROM   Legal Studies and 3-3 majors who are not seeking the Paralegal Certificate and therefore did not take Litigation are exempt from Litigation Portfolio Certificate of Completion, Summation Training Certificate of Completion & Power Point Presentation assignment submitted on CD-rom.
