"The Paralegal Program Advisory Board plays a critical role in the success, integrity, and quality of every paralegal student. After witnessing the passion and insight each member brought to the meetings, I believe the Advisory Board’s dedication to the growth and relevance of the program and its curriculum is among the key factors that truly set apart the JCCC Paralegal Program."
