Two reasons for paralegals to celebrate

Thursday the 25th September marked a special day for graduates of the Specialist Paralegal Qualifications offered by CLT Scotland and accredited by the University of Strathclyde.

110 graduates received formal recognition for their specialist studies across a broad range of legal disciplinesat the annual awards ceremony held in the Barony Hall at the University of Strathclyde. These graduates join over 8,000 CLT Scotland qualified paralegals in private practice, business and local government throughout Scotland.

Graduates, expert tutors, The Law School at the University, The Law Society of Scotland Registered Paralegal Scheme team, and the Scottish Paralegal Association were all in attendance.

Professor Bryan Clark, Head of the Law School noted:

‘I was delighted to be part of the paralegal graduation in the University’s Barony Hall where we joined with family and friends and celebrated the achievements of our graduates. CLT Scotland and Strathclyde Law School have a strong and long standing partnership in the field of paralegal training. Combining our respective strengths has allowed us to produce paralegal qualifications of the highest quality which are valued by our graduates and their employers alike.’

CLT Scotland is also proud to launch a new initiative whereby graduates of the Specialist Paralegal Qualification will be eligible for FREE first years’ membership of the Law Society of Scotland Registered Paralegal Scheme.
