MCC paralegal class

Every fall we look forward to hosting legal research classes for the Monroe Community College paralegal program. This year two dozen students, working in small groups, will tackle a formidable packet of research questions at the library through October. We always enjoy seeing the mix of young folk and those pursuing a second career. To paraphrase a librarian who assisted the group, it's a pleasure to work with such interested and interesting people.
