Advisory Committee

The Program has a dedicated and active Advisory Committee that includes practicing attorneys and legal assistants, University and Program faculty members, Program graduates, and members of the general public.  The Advisory Committee meets at least twice during each school year, providing advice and suggestions on a wide variety of matters including Program classes and curriculum, Program recruiting, fundraising, and development, student and graduate placement, and special projects. 

All Advisory Committee members donate their time and expertise to the Program because they share common interests in the legal assisting profession, and in helping to shape the future of Program students.  Without their willingness to serve, the Program simply could not exist as it does today.

  • Dawn Berryman, Paralegal, Martens Ice, P.C.
