The Unit for Applied Law was established in 2014 initially as a service department in the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. It has 16 full time academic staff members across four CPUT campuses.
The Unit expanded its portfolio by curriculating the first Bachelor of Paralegal Studies degree in South Africa in consultation with legal and paralegal practitioners in the country and abroad. This three year programme responds to the need for primary legal services and addresses some of the challenges in legal education in the country. The first intake for this unique qualification is in 2018 and it shall be offered on the Bellville campus.
The programme aims to equip paralegal graduates with the requisite theory and practical legal skills at an intermediate level within a paralegal context and serves as a preparatory and screening mechanism for advanced studies in law, including the LLB.
It prepares graduates to perform the function of a conveyancing paralegal, legal administrator, legal assistant, human resource paralegal, commercial legal secretary, community-based paralegal, family law practitioner, debt counsellor and reviewer, legal interpreter or motor vehicle accident claims handler. It further prepares graduates to represent clients in a range of dispute resolution fora.
