ABA-Approved School for Paralegal Studies
San Francisco State University is pleased to announce that the American Bar Association has granted approval to the Paralegal Studies program offered by the College of Extended Learning.
This is the only ABA-approved paralegal studies program in San Francisco.
Recent California legislation defines who may call himself or herself a paralegal and sets forth educational criteria for paralegals. One of the criteria is graduation from a program approved by the American Bar Association. Please refer to the section on New California Legislation on Paralegals.
