About the PCC Paralegal Program



Since 1924 Pasadena City College, located in the heart of Pasadena, California has been educating students to become professionals in the work force. PCC is part of California's 110 community colleges, which have a total enrollment of 2.9 million students, the largest higher education system in the world. The Paralegal Studies Program at Pasadena City College, established in 1972, is widely known and respected by the legal community. The program has been approved by the American Bar Association continuously since 1995. While hundreds of our graduates work in law firms, businesses and the government, others utilize their paralegal education as a foundation for pre- law studies. It is the primary objective of PCC’s Paralegal Studies 2-year program to provide students with an education that will enable them to effectively assist attorneys in all phases of private and public law practice. To achieve this objective each of our programs is designed to:
  • Develop in each student critical thinking and analytical skills
  • Enable each student to become an effective communicator through training in research, writing, listening, and speaking skills
  • Make each student a competent legal professional by providing him/her with both theory and practical knowledge and training
  • Provide each student with a foundation in ethics and professional responsibility that will enable him/her to recognize values and perform legal services in an ethical manner.


PCC’s Paralegal Studies program is approved by the American Bar Association, signifying that they have met standards intended to ensure a quality paralegal education.


Our flexible scheduling options (classes starting as early as 7 a.m., through 7:00 p.m. during the week, Saturday mornings at 8 a.m. and online) will allow you to create a personalized course schedule.


​Each student receives a Lexis computer-assisted legal research password to use for their school-related projects anywhere there is Internet access. Plus, your training includes an externship where you will put your skills to work in a real legal environment!
