Paralegal: Home

Welcome to the PCC Library Paralegal Research Guide

Paralegals investigate cases, draft legal documents, and do legal research.

This guide is designed to point paralegal students to books, articles, websites, and other related information required for these tasks - for use both in your paralegal courses and on the job. 

Resources available for those seeking information on self representation in court, and locating legal advice in the community are listed below.

The National Paralegal Reporter is the magazine of the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA). The Reporter has a focus on delivering readers with practical advice they can use in their careers including: professional development, technology, ethics, project case studies, and diversity and inclusion. The print version of the magazine is in the Downtown Campus Library.

Facts and Findings is the official magazine of the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA). It  aims to provide educational articles on work related subjects and challenges to paralegals.
