Online Colleges for Law & Criminal Justice

In his book American Law and the Legal System, Thomas Van Dervort describes the "mass of rules and regulations" created by the U.S. federal and state governments. Lawyers (also called attorneys) are knowledgeable about this complex "mass" and so act as guides, advising individuals about their legal rights and obligations and acting on our behalf during trials and other legal proceedings. But attorneys are not the only professionals who are called on every day to apply their understanding of the law. Legal assistants (or paralegals) and clerks who staff law offices and courthouses have studied law. And in order to enforce the law by identifying and apprehending offenders, police officers, detectives, probation officers and correctional treatment specialists often have a background in criminal justice.
