Welcome to the Legal Education Department (LED). We are so happy that you found us and hope you will find our website helpful.
Kapi`olani Community College’s Legal Education Department is the only non-Law School legal training program in the University of Hawai`i system. The department offers the paralegal, Associate in Science degree and the legal secretary, Certificate of Completion.
Our paralegal program is nationally recognized and has received American Bar Association approval since 1978. We are the only ABA approved program in the State of Hawai`i.
Our courses are designed to train paralegals and legal secretaries to work in law offices and other legal environments. The courses are not intended to provide “self-help” instruction for individuals who are interested in working on a personal legal program. Our law courses and instructors provide general legal educational information related to the subject matter covered.
It is the intent of the Legal Education Department:
- To promote learning and teaching for student success.
- To build a learning, partnering, and service network for workforce and economic development.
