Courtney Capps: Paralegal Specialist Student at HGTC!

Growing up, Courtney spent her summers with her aunt who worked as a legal secretary at the local courthouse.  It was here she fell in love with the legal field and knew she would one day work in a similar setting.  After completing her Bachelor’s Degree in English, Courtney decided to continue her education at HGTC when she learned of the American Bar Association certified Paralegal Specialist Program.

Courtney enjoys having class in the mock courtroom on the Grand Strand Campus because she is becoming familiar with the courtroom setting.  She continues to be inspired by her professors and their years of experience working in the field.  She looks forward to spending time in a real law firm during her required Paralegal internship.

Courtney attributes her success in school to her supportive family and classmates.  The closeness of her fellow Paralegal students helps them all to excel academically and have fun!

Congratulations, Courtney, for being chosen as HGTC’s September Spotlight Student!
