What is a paralegal?

As defined by the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, a Paralegal is a person, qualified through education, training or work experience to perform substantive legal work that requires knowledge of legal concepts and is customarily, but not exclusively, performed by a lawyer. This person may be retained or employed by a lawyer, law office, governmental agency or other entity or may be authorized by administrative, statutory or court authority to perform this work. Substantive shall mean work requiring recognition, evaluation, organization, analysis, and communication of relevant facts and legal concepts.

NFPA Members

NFPA's  Marketing Committee and Board has developed a brief Member Expectations Survey to assist us in determining what your membership needs are and how we can better serve all of our members. Please complete this brief survey no later than July 14, 2008. This information is very important for NFPA to improve communication with members and be responsive to member needs.
NFPA will provide each association with the results of this survey as
soon as we complete the tally.
