"My name is Gidget Hunter and I am in the Office Administration - Legal program at Durham College. Legal office administration is working at a law firm, for a lawyer producing all the documents for them, filing documents, dealing with correspondence and mail and basically planning meetings for a lawyer."
"I would say my favourite courses have been Corporate Law and Real Estate Law. They really teach you every step of corporate law."
"Our success as students really does matter at Durham College to the professors. I'd say it is their number one concern. I think the professors are amazing, they really work with you one-on-one. If they notice you are struggling in a certain area, they make sure that you're stronger in that area before they send you on your field placement."
"Everything that we are learning in our program is exactly what they are looking for in the workplace. At the end of the year, for three weeks, we go on field placement and we go down to a law firm. If you don't want to work in a big downtown law firm, you can go to any local law firm and you are going to be working directly with lawyers for three weeks. When I graduate, I am going to be working, hopefully in a law firm downtown. It shouldn't be too hard to get a job, because there is great demand for legal office administrators right now. I am looking forward to working downtown in the hustle and bustle of things."
