Empowering South Africa’s communities of the future
Advocate Noleen Leach and team took a tremendous amount of care in designing CPUT’s new Bachelor of Paralegal Studies programme. With a deep sense of community, her goal was to improve access to justice for South Africa’s most vulnerable.
“One of the unique features of paralegalism across the African continent is the community-based, socio-legal function that many paralegals perform. However, accredited education and training for these and other paralegals lagged behind mainstream legal education. The Bachelor of Paralegal Studies degree endeavours to fill that gap in legal education by providing the educational foundation for the professionalisation of the paralegal sector, which would serve to meet the primary legal needs of society. It is also a preparatory mechanism for candidates who wish to pursue advanced studies in law, including the LLB.” – Adv. Noleen Leach
