Here is a link to the undergraduate degree in paralegal studies at Delaware Technical Community College, and Here is a link to their certificate program if you already hold your Bachelor's degree- BOTH of which are eligible for the SEED Scholarship, which makes your education affordable or free!

All Judge Advocates undergo specialized training at Naval Justice School in Newport, Rhode Island after attending the Marine Corps Officer Training in Quantico, Virginia. Upon completion, Marine Judge Advocates immediately take responsibility of caseloads in various fields, including criminal law, civil law, international law, operational law, and work as a trial attorney.
